Over the past years, fuel cells have gained importance as energy catalytic converter both in stationary and mobile applications. The electrode plates in the fuel cells are mostly made of metal or carbon and are coated with platinum, palladium or ruthenium to generate the catalytic effect.

the recovery of used fuel cells in the recycling loop is still fairly low, but constantly increasing. If you are interested in recycling fuel cells, please contact us: We will be pleased to provide you with a customized offer.
Source for secondary precious metals catalytic converter
Whether biogas plants, natural gas plants or coffee roasting facilities – many industrial applications rely on exhaust gas aftertreatment systems in which catalytic converters or diesel particulate filters are used to reduce harmful emissions and ensure compliance with the statutory emissions standards.
Precious metals, predominantly platinum, but sometimes palladium and rhodium as well, enable the environmentally friendly removal of pollutants to ensure the sustainable protection of our planet. At the end of their useful life, the precious metals are recovered from industrial catalytic converter. We then return the secondary raw materials to the production cycle.
Depending on the quantity and material, we offer a wide range of services including toll refining or purchasing for these types of catalytic converters.

Weight catalytic converter
- A regular monolith or a DPF based on aluminium titanate weighs approx. 1 kg
- A DPF made of SiC ceramic usually weighs 2 – 3 kg
Visual inspection:
- SiC – usually grey surface and black ceramic, bonded cuboids with light edges
