Catalytic converters contain palladium, platinum and rhodium that are also produced from our underground mines at Stillwater and East Boulder.
Catalytic converters dramatically reduce the toxicity of air emissions from internal combustion engines that are found in most of the vehicles we drive everyday. About half of the worlds palladium and platinum production is used in catalytic converters.
Stillwater Mining has sourced and recycled increasing volumes of spent catalytic converters since 1997. Our growing recycling business complements mine production and our reputation for environmental excellence. We continue to contribute to clean air for Montana and the rest of the world by mining and recycling platinum group metals.
The ongoing recycling efforts are another example of
efficiencies and sustainability initiatives deployed at Stillwater Mining Company.
