In terms of precious metals (PM) catalysts, the answer is “absolutely”. In most recycling scenarios, the net value returned to PM catalyst users exceeds 90% of the PM original loading, including the cost of all recovery services and shipping charges. In order to ensure that the full value of the PM content is returned, however, far more crucial and costly details are always in play: the honesty/integrity of the precious metals refiner; the accuracy of sampling and analysis; and the hidden contractual and technical details (loss on ignition, splitting limits, and lot size).
