Proprietary processing technology

Waste streams

An extensive array of precious metal recovery services tailored to every major industrial sector. We call it intelligent refining!

Expertise you can trust

We work closely with businesses to develop customized recycling programs aligned with operational needs and sustainability goals. reflect our uncompromising commitment to safety, environmental stewardship, and quality.

Know your metals

The Know your metals resource helps you understand how precious metals are used across industries. Explore each metal’s commercial applications, the types of waste streams it commonly appears in, and the recovery technologies used to reclaim it.

How precious metals recovery works

We understand that different waste types require different metallurgical routes. Our stringent process results in maximum metal recovery while ensuring the safety of our people.

Material processing and sorting for precious metal recovery Metallix Reldan
1. Waste stream identification

Plating solutions, sludges, resins, scrap components, and rinse waters are sampled and analyzed.

2. Waste stream processing

Material profiling determines the processing route based on the metal, substrate, and complexity of separation.

Precise sampling and analysis of recycling materials Metallix Reldan lab
3. Analytical laboratory

Samples of each
lot are sent to the precious metal testing laboratory for their precious metal type and content.
