Precious-Metals Recovery

We recover the hidden value in spent catalysts.

Catalyx Recycling collects, processes and trades spent catalytic converters and precious-metal-bearing scrap — turning scattered material into refinery-grade, fully assayed product. Transparent pricing for sellers. Dependable supply for refiners.

What we do

One trusted link, three connected steps

Catalyx sits in the middle of the precious-metals supply chain — sourcing material, preparing it to a known, priced specification, and delivering it to the refiners who recover the metal.

Source

We buy whole converters and precious-metal scrap from scrap yards, dismantlers, dealers and collectors.

Process

We de-can, mill and homogenise the material, then sample and assay it to an exact precious-metal content.

Trade

We settle assayed material to the world's leading refiners on transparent, metal-backed terms.

Value is won in the middle: accurate sampling and assay is what turns scrap into a fairly-priced commodity.

How it works

From scrap yard to settlement

A disciplined, documented chain of custody — so every kilogram is priced on what's truly inside it.

Collect & weigh

Material is received, logged to your contract and weighed under a clear, auditable record.

De-can & mill

Ceramic substrates are removed from their shells and milled to a uniform powder.

Homogenise & sample

The lot is blended and a representative sample is drawn under strict protocol.

Assay

XRF for a rapid read and advance payment; ICP-OES wet chemistry for final, precise settlement.

Settle & refine

You're paid on real metal content; material moves on to the refiner for recovery.

Materials we handle

If it carries platinum, palladium or rhodium, we want it

Automotive catalytic converters

Whole and de-canned units from cars, vans and light trucks.

Diesel & industrial catalysts

DPFs, SCR units and spent industrial process catalysts.

PGM-bearing scrap & sweeps

Ceramic and metallic substrate, grindings and precious-metal-bearing residues.

Who we serve

Two audiences, one dependable bridge

Supply side — sellers

Scrap yards, dismantlers, dealers & collectors

  • Reliable cash flow and a long-term buyer relationship
  • Advance payment available on rapid XRF readings

Demand side — refiners

The world's leading precious-metal refiners

  • Consistent volumes of homogenised, assayed feed
  • Clean KYC, documentation and export compliance
  • Full chain-of-custody and traceability
  • Metal-account and hedged settlement options

Why Catalyx

Precision is our product

Anyone can buy a converter. Few can tell you — and prove — exactly what's inside it. That accuracy is where value is protected.

Assay-grade accuracy

XRF and ICP-OES analysis target a margin of error under 5% — capturing value that per-unit buyers leave on the table.

Transparency & integrity

Clear weights, documented sampling, and settlement on real metal content. You see how the price is built.

Industrial capability

Built for heavy, continuous material flow — de-canning, milling and sampling discipline at real volume.

Global reach

Local sourcing across our regions, settlement through the UAE, and direct lines to tier-1 refiners.

Compliance built in

KYC, export permits and traceability from day one — the paperwork refiners require, handled properly.

Fair, fast settlement

Advance payment on XRF, final settlement on ICP-OES — and metal-account options to manage price risk.

About Catalyx

A modern recovery business for fast-motorising markets

Across Central Asia, the Middle East and Africa, vehicle fleets are growing quickly — yet much of the precious metal in end-of-life catalysts still leaves through informal, opaque channels. Catalyx Recycling was built to change that: to bring transparency, technical rigour and refinery-grade standards to a trade that has long lacked them.

We operate as a two-entity group — a processing and sourcing base in Uzbekistan and a trading and settlement entity in the UAE — so we can serve sellers locally while settling with global refiners cleanly across borders.
