Catalytic converters are essential for reducing vehicle emissions—but they’re also rich in platinum group metals (PGMs) such as:
These metals are scarce and highly valuable. At SAR Metals, we recover PGMs using precise, high-tech processes to ensure you receive the true catalytic converter scrap value—no guesswork, no shortcuts.
We use ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) and XRF (X-ray Fluorescence) analysis at our on-site laboratory to determine the exact PGM content of your catalytic converters.
Flexible Processing Options:
We process a wide range of hybrid converters, which often contain higher levels of precious metals. If you're wondering where to sell hybrid catalytic converters for maximum return—SAR Metals is your answer.
For our regular clients we offer a bespoke online catalytic converter valuation database. By testing thousands of different catalysts, we at SAR Metals managed to design an accurate and efficient tool to determine the value of each catalyst for any device that has online access.
Our custom-built online valuation platform gives you instant access to:

Yes, hybrid catalytic converters often contain higher concentrations of platinum group metals, especially palladium and rhodium, making them some of the most valuable converter types on the market.
Catalytic converters typically contain three key PGMs (Platinum Group Metals):
These are used to reduce harmful vehicle emissions and are recovered during the recycling process.
High-value converters often come from hybrid vehicles, luxury brands, or larger commercial vehicles. Using our online database, you can check exact values based on make, model, and type for each converter.
