Recycling by Metchem

RECYCLING


Our staff specializes in providing useful applications for your spent catalyst, metal containing waste, by-products and residues.

Given our large and growing international network, we offer an environmentally friendly and financially attractive solution for the recycling or disposal of materials like: 

  • Spent catalyst
  • Metal containing industrial waste (sludges, ashes, filter cakes, pharmaceutical waste, slags, etc.)

OUR FACILITY

Since 2023 has METCHEM Recycling USA established a recycling facility located in West Alexander, close to Pittsburgh. 

With a 20-year history in the recycling industry, our plant holds a general license for processing waste materials. All materials will be processed and recycled in an environmental friendly way, while providing our customers with the most competitive return.

Furthermore, our recycling facility provides toll-services to meet to the specific needs of our customers. Using a sliding bed furnace technology, we offer additional services such as drying and calcining of materials.

Metchem Recycling USA is fully dedicated to creating a sustainable future. We prioritize recycling over landfilling, actively playing our part in protecting the environment. Our team of experts works passionately to find innovative ways to recycle and maintain high-quality standards throughout the process. This ensures that sustainability is always a top priority at every step.

SPENT CATALYST


Since 2005 METCHEM is specialized in the recycling of any type of spent, regenerated or unused catalysts. We offer commercially attractive and environmental approved recycling or re-use options for all your catalysts. Depending on specific metal compounds and impurities the most competitive terms will apply. In case no valuable metals are present, we offer competitive treatment charges.

Our proposal is most competitive for catalyst containing;

  • Precious metals (Pd, Pt, Rh, Au, Ag, Ru, etc.)
  • Molybdenum (NiMo, CoMo, etc.)
  • Nickel (including Nickel Raney and Nickel fat)
  • Tungsten
  • Copper
  • Zinc
  • Cobalt
  • Vanadium


We handle any type of spent catalyst, so please get in contact to discuss our possibilities.

METAL CONTAINING WASTE

Our proposal is most competitive for materials containing;

  • Precious metals (Pd, Pt, Rh, Au, Ag, Ru, etc.)
  • Molybdenum 
  • Nickel 
  • Tungsten
  • Copper
  • Zinc
  • Cobalt
  • Vanadium
