- ✓Gold, silver, copper, palladium, and rare earths
- ✓Certified smelting and refining processes
- ✓Transparent material yield reporting
- ✓Competitive buy-back rates for enterprise clients
How It Works
Precious Metal Recovery process
Step 01
Pre-sorting
Boards, connectors, and high-value fractions are AI-sorted out of the shredded stream.
Step 02
Density & optical separation
Density and optical sorting isolate the precious-metal-bearing fractions.
Step 03
Smelting & refining
Certified smelting and refining recover gold, silver, copper, and palladium to refinery-grade purity.
Step 04
Yield reporting
Enterprise clients receive auditable yield reports by metal and stream.
Frequently Asked Questions
Precious Metal Recovery FAQs
Which precious metals does 3R Technology Global recover?+
We recover gold, silver, copper, and palladium from printed circuit boards, connectors, and other electronic components, plus rare earth elements where present.
What recovery rate do you achieve on precious metals?+
Up to 99% precious metal recovery — significantly above the 85–90% baseline of traditional smelting routes, made possible by AI-driven upstream sorting and certified downstream refining.
Do you provide transparent material yield reports?+
Yes. Every enterprise client receives auditable yield reports by stream and metal, suitable for finance reconciliation and ESG reporting.
