Abstract

Companies that accept catalytic converters for recycling take extensive measures to ensure the legality and security of their purchases. Due to the valuable precious metals contained in catalytic converters, such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium, they are often targeted for theft. Some companies choose to only purchase converters from other businesses to avoid accepting items with questionable histories. These companies also prioritize transparent communication, maintain relationships with law enforcement and customers, and stay up to date with proper licensing. Security measures, such as cameras and locked containers, are implemented to protect the converters, and thorough intake processes are followed to ensure traceability and prevent tampering. Collaboration with law enforcement and reporting suspicious activity are also important aspects of the recycling process. [Extracted from the article]
