Recycling is our Passion

Competence and trust are the basis of successful collaboration. Our (technical) expertise are built upon a foundation of 20 years of experience in the precious metal recycling industry, which saw the continuous refinement of our recycling procedures and significant rises in recovery quotas. Professional know-how, modern processing technology, innovative analysis procedures and not least our passion for recycling.

Our facilities in Drochow and Lauchhammer process a yearly volume of several hundred tons of material, from which we extract several hundred kilograms of precious metals, like platinum, palladium, gold and silver. As such metals, in their role as high-tech resources, represent essential components not only of catalytic converters in the automobile and chemistry industries but also indispensible elements of electrical products, medical technology and fuel cells, our recycling services contribute significantly to the resource security of developed industries.

Pioneers in Catalyst-Recycling

Employees of ReMetall Deutschland can draw on over 20 years of experience in metal recycling. As early as 1996, the then 4-year-old cable recycling precursor venture to ReMetall, began recycling catalytic converters in Drochow, making it one of the first European companies in the business. Extensive knowledge of the market, highly refined methods and leadership through innovation, have since then been the guiding principles of our success. The company ReMetall Česká republika s.r.o. is the exclusive representative of ReMetall Deutschland AG on the Czech market since 2017.

Let’s not stop taking care about the recovery of raw materials

A mere 200 tons of platinum are mined as primary resource every year. To obtain one troy ounce (31.1 g), 10 tons of ore must be transported worldwide from a depth of up to 4,000 meters. To obtain high-quality platinum from ore, it is necessary to perform over 150 operations – this method is taking several months. The enormous cost of the whole process quickly clarifies the value of this rare precious metal.

More platinum from recycling

480 ounces of platinum are obtained by ReMetall from an average of 10 tons of old catalysts. The process from separation to refining, the recovery of platinum as a secondary raw material, is closed in a few days and only a fraction of the energy is consumed.

Advantages for business and the environment

The recycling of precious metals is from an economic point of view not only meaningful, but also usable for additional production. The recycling of precious metals ensures the supply of platinum, palladium and rhodium even in countries poor in raw materials. It reduces emissions, gases harmful to the air and thus protects the environment.

Trust through quality

Our highest priority and the foundation of our collaboration with every costumer is the quality of our service. This begins with our competent advisory service in the material acquisition stage and propagates through every aspect of the processing phase. You can rest assured that not a single gram of material will be lost in the recycling process. Our quality standard naturally includes the highest possible recovery quota as well as the greatest accuracy and transparency in our value assessment. You can trust that we exercise upmost care and diligence in the accurate determination of your shipment’s precious metal content.
