​About Catalytic Converter Recycling

Catalytic Converters are used by almost every vehicle on the road today. First introduced in the mid-70s, Catalytic Converters were mandated as an emission control device to greatly reduce the toxic constituents produced by a vehicles exhaust system.

​This reduction occurs through the catalyzing of toxic constituents with Platinum Group Metals (PGMs), such as Platinum, Palladium, and Rhodium. KBI has the ability to capture the value of these PGMs.
