Catalytic Converter Recycling

2/15/2012

10 Comments

 
Tons of scrap metal are thrown in many landfills everyday and many of them can be hazardous to those who may handle them. For this reason, catalytic converter recycling is a necessity because it can lessen the number of scrap catalytic converters that are found in auto supply, repair shops and auto wrecking operations. When people collect these converters they carefully shear the coverings made of steel as well as the case openings, so that honeycombed biscuits or beads are taken out. The total value of the converters is dependent on the coating made of PGM (platinum group metals) that those who are interested in it should also collect the small pieces and even the dust from these converters

Catalytic converter recycling is very important for junkyard owners, those who own scrap metals and mechanics because they can have these treasured metals like rhodium, platinum and palladium taken off the converters and refined. More importantly, when these converters near the end of their shell life they are filtered so they can be used again and help lessen harmful emissions that are emitted by millions of vehicles towards the atmosphere. Instead of these being condemned in a junkyard or land fill, these converters can be used time and time again.

These precious converters are crucial for junkyard owners and mechanics because every time they are sold or refined, these owners are able to keep the profits that in turn help their business stay afloat or even become more profitable.  Catalytic converter recycling is also about collecting converters from huge machines like trucks, forklifts, trains, buses, mining equipment and even generator sets. This type of recycling is a win-win solution for everyone especially the environment. Many people will earn money by having these converters cleaned for future use, so that the environment will be much safer due to lesser emissions.

Thank you for your article about catalytic converter recycling. I own a motorcycle and have long since replaced my exhaust system. I have the stock catalytic converter that came with my motorcycle just lying around in my garage. I am looking to dispose of it, but I am unsure as to how. I like how you talked about how hazardous it is if I throw my catalytic converter in a landfill. I'll make sure to have mine recycled as I understand now that there are a lot of benefits to it, both to the environment and the recyclers as well.
