Our Recycling Standards

To ensure efficient processing and maximize value, we maintain specific requirements for spark plug recycling:

• Minimum shipment: 5 kg (approx 100 pcs)

• Accepted types: All iridium and platinum plugs

• Not accepted: Copper plugs (no recoverable value)

• Condition requirements: Whole plugs only—no partial plugs

• Cleanliness standards: Clean, no oil contamination, no trash or unrelated scrap metals

The Recovery Process

Our recycling method focuses on precise separation to maximize material recovery while reducing waste:

• The precious metal-bearing electrodes are carefully extracted from the ceramic and metal components.

• This targeted approach allows for a higher yield of valuable metals such as iridium and platinum.

• By following our strict cleanliness and condition requirements, we ensure an efficient and eco-friendly recycling process.

Value Determination

Our pricing structure for spark plugs is based on:

• Total weight of the shipment

• Current market price for platinum and iridium

• Quality and consistency of the submitted materials
