The Technology Behind Our Process

The ceramic or metal foil body (monolith) of a catalytic converter contains a honeycomb structure with thinly walled channels. These channels are coated with precious metals—primarily platinum, palladium, and rhodium—which act as catalysts for the chemical reactions that clean exhaust emissions.


Our Advanced Recycling Approach

Recycling catalytic converters presents significant technical challenges due to the complex structure and the microscopic distribution of precious metals throughout the converter. At Shivmani, we are using proprietary technology that allows us to process:

  • Whole ceramic converters

  • Semi-crushed monoliths

  • Ground monolith material

State-of-the-art processing facilities employing innovative extraction methods that consistently yield industry-leading recovery rates. By maximizing the reclamation of these valuable resources, we provide superior returns while contributing to a more sustainable automotive industry.


Environmental Impact

Each recycled catalytic converter reduces the need for environmentally destructive mining operations. By reclaiming these precious metals, we're helping to close the resource loop and minimize the carbon footprint associated with precious metal production.
