BacMetall is a leading manufacturer of industrial catalytic converters in North America. Catalytic converters are devices that burn automobile exhaust to prevent toxic gases from entering the atmosphere. Catalytic converters are made with precious metals such as platinum, rhodium, iridium, and palladium. These precious metals are used to create electricity by making gasoline engines burn cleaner.
However, it’s important to remember that once these metals are released into the environment, they cannot be recovered. Once the catalysts are removed from catalytic converters and put back in circulation, they enter our waterways, soil, and eventually the food chain. This process is called a “closed-loop economy” and it helps to prevent pollution.
We are dedicated to protecting the planet by Catalytic Recycling working towards an end to the mining of precious metals such as rhodium, iridium, and palladium. We are also dedicated to educating the world about what we can do to save our planet and protect those precious metals.
Bacmetall is working together with other companies and organizations to provide educational opportunities and a better future for everyone. One of our projects includes a video series called The Story of Metals. In this series, we explore the production of valuable materials and how that production affects our society, environment, and culture.
