Discover the wide range of precious metal-bearing recyclables

Almost nothing works without precious metals. Therefore, they can be found in a wide variety of industries. RECOM meets the technical requirements of precious metal recycling in the treatment of a wide variety of residue compositions to cover a range of industrial sectors that use precious metals.

Electrical engineering and electronics

In electrical engineering, precious metals can be found, for example, in integrated circuits, processors, semiconductors, printed circuit boards or connectors. But precious metals are also used in optoelectronics, e.g., in reflectors.  

 

 

Chemistry and Petrochemistry

In chemistry and petrochemistry, precious metals are mainly used in catalysts and solutions. However, wastes such as sludges and dross also contain precious metals.

Pharmacy and medical technology

In the pharmaceutical industry, precious metals are mainly used in catalysts. In addition, precious metals are used in sensors, electrodes or medical equipment.

Glass production

In glass production, precious metals are found particularly in semi-finished products and firebricks, and also in coated glass.

Automotive industry

In the automotive industry, automotive catalytic converters along with electronic components constitute the "classic" recycling case in terms of precious metals.

Special areas

In specialty areas, precious metals are found, for example, on sputtering targets, in fuel cells or solar cells. Precious metals are also popular materials in medical technology.
