Precious metal recycling Waste Streams
Pharmaceutical industry
Recovering value from spent pharmaceutical catalysts, residues, and process streams with secure, compliant recycling solutions.
Recover value from critical chemistry
Pharmaceutical production relies on precious metal catalysts such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium. These catalysts degrade over time but retain significant recoverable value.
At Sibanye-Stillwater Recycling operations, we provide specialized catalyst recycling solutions that ensure maximum recovery while maintaining strict regulatory compliance.
With high catalyst costs and increasing demand, efficient recovery is essential for cost control and sustainability.
We support pharmaceutical manufacturers with secure, transparent recycling services.
Identify hidden value across
your workflow
True recovery starts with knowing where precious metals are slipping through the cracks. These commonly overlooked areas in the pharmaceutical industry often hold more value than expected.
Spent catalysts
Primary recovery sources:
- Used process catalysts
- Deactivated materials
- Catalyst residues
Process streams
Additional value found in:
- Filtration solids
- Reactor residues
- Contaminated solvents
Equipment and cleaning
Hidden opportunities:
- Reactor cleanouts
- Filters and membranes
- Cleaning waste
High-value chemistry. Measurable returns.
Recovering catalyst metals improves both operational efficiency and environmental performance.
