The precious metal plating industry, especially in electronics manufacturing, plays a vital role in producing high-performance components. However, the process generates various types of plating waste—much of it containing recoverable gold, silver, platinum, and palladium.
With the rise in e-waste generation, precious metal refining and recycling has become a crucial solution—helping plating industries recover value, stay compliant, and reduce environmental impact.
Precious metals used in electronics (gold, silver, palladium, platinum) are not only costly but also finite. Every year, tons of valuable plating waste are discarded due to poor recovery systems. This creates both economic and environmental risks.
Recycling and refining services allow manufacturers to:-
Common Types of Precious Metal Waste in Electronics Plating
The electronics plating industry produces multiple waste streams that contain valuable metals:
Each of these waste types can be refined to recover high-value precious metals, turning waste into a revenue stream.
