1. Where can I find the prices for scrap catalytic converters?

2. What is the purpose of a catalytic converter?
A catalytic converter plays a crucial role in reducing vehicle emissions. It helps convert harmful gases—like carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons—into less toxic substances such as carbon dioxide and water vapour. This process is enabled by the precious metals inside the converter, which act as catalysts during combustion.
3. What metals are inside a catalytic converter?
The most valuable components in a catalytic converter are platinum, palladium, and rhodium. These rare precious metals enable the chemical reactions that clean exhaust gases. Their high value is one of the main reasons why catalytic converter recycling is both environmentally and economically important.
