A metal is deemed precious if it is rare. Precious metals are found in all sorts of products. More than just gold, silver and platinum but also platinum family metals such as palladium, rhodium. These metals are similar chemically and share certain physical properties. The critical similarity for high tech industry applications is resistance to corrosion. Unlike most other metals, they not are valued in cents per pound, but more highly in dollars per troy ounce ( approximately 31 grams ).

Many vehicles made after 1975 are equipped with catalytic converters which serve as a primary means for reducing the emissions of air pollutants. Catalytic Converters are also used on generator sets, forklifts, mining equipment, trucks, buses, trains, and other engine-equipped machines.

As advances in technology continue to grow there is a proportional need to deal with end of life (EOL) electronics that accumulate from the replacement of older components and systems for example: computers and consumer electronics. Our expanding knowledge base of metal processing and acquisition of quality vendors & partners has allowed us to grow along with this E-Scrap market.

Non-Ferrous metals are metals which do not contain Iron. For example metals such as copper and aluminum are non-ferrous and play an important role in components of many modern products. Products like computer wiring and soda cans are inexpensive partly due to the role of the secondary metals industry. We keep costs low because the mining of these metals is more expensive and less efficient than recycling them.
