Markets
PGM recycling for Energy & Hydrogen industries
Now, more than ever, it is more urgent to review our resources. Energy transition, other energy sources like hydrogen and fuel cells, all use to a certain extend, but as an essential part precious metals.
Circle PGM has an unique process, and vision to these markets, where reusing the precious metals used in fuel stacks, bipolar plates and PEM anodes, becomes more urgent every day.
Introduction
What we do
Circle PGM’s unique non-destructive, non-chemical process allows you to reuse your substrates time and time again, while we recover the spent precious metal containing coatings. Supplying them back to you in the form and composition you prefer, enabling you to further develop your products and turn the world into a more competitive, sustainable, energy efficient place to live. Because there is no moment like now.
Benefits
Maximise recovery, lower environmental impact.
Design of a product with end-of-life phase in mind. The energy and hydrogen market is exactly where we can reshape the world in terms of energy consumption as we know it. But it needs to be competitive. Circle PGM is the partner that will contribute to not just that, we will join your journey.
Cut costs through re-use
Our non-toxic process allows us to recover the spent precious metal layer and reuse the cleaned substrates. Significantly reducing the need for costly replacements.
The result: lower production costs, improved TCU, and extended equipment lifespan.
Ensure environmental compliance
…while lowering your operational footprint.
Gain transparency and control
With real-time tracking, full documentation, and verified PGM content analysis, you get a clear, honest and transparent insight into the value and outcome of every batch – making planning, reporting, and scaling easier than ever.

Collect
Through advanced refining techniques, recovered residue is transformed into high-quality precious metals like iridium and ruthenium, ensuring maximum recovery and minimal waste.

Optional
Opt for a closed-loop system where refined metals are returned as products like iridium chloride (IrCI) or ruthenium chloride (RuCI), ready for reuse in your operations. Or, to the core definition of circularity; receive a newly coated anode back. Coated with revert precious metals.

Sustainability at its core; spent precious metal coatings are transformed into high-purity compounds- and returned to you, ready for reuse in your coating applications. enabling you to offer a more competitive pricing strategy to your customers, growing into an even bigger sustainability impact, together.
Circular Economy
Closed-loop system
A closed-loop system is the key to sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective operations. By continuously recycling and reusing materials, you reduce waste, lower emissions, and minimize reliance on newly mined resources. This not only helps you meet environmental regulations, but also strengthens your business in reaching its sustainability and financial targets.
Circularity, in its purest form; returning a product to its original state — as it was. That’s the essence of a true closed-loop system. And that is exactly what we have created — a one-stop shop for full-circle precious metal recovery and supply.
Looking for advise about transitioning to a closed loop system? We are happy to offer our expertise.

+31 (0) 85 018 9964How does Circle PGM handle logistics?
Circle PGM works with long term logistics partners across the globe. This ensures trustworthy and secure shipments
What materials can Circle PGM recover?
We handle a wide variety of materials containing precious metals (PGMs) in all shapes and sizes. Our specialty lies in iridium and ruthenium coated materials, which we process using our unique, chemical-free method.
Is Circle PGM compliant with European environmental regulations?
Yes, Circle PGM is compliant with European environmental regulations. Our innovative, chemical-free recovery process aligns with the standards for sustainability, safety, and environmental protection. We continue to improve on a daily basis.
What materials can be recovered and refined?
If your material contains precious metals, recovery is possible, even from very low concentrations. Whether it involves coated materials, solids, liquids, hazardous substances, organics, catalysts, or any other form shape or size, our team is here to assist you. Feel free to get in touch with us!
What’s the difference between destructive and non-destructive coating removal?
Destructive coating removal breaks down both the coating and the substrate, making the substrate unusable. Non-destructive removal, however, separates the coating while preserving the substrate, allowing it to be reused. At Circle PGM, we specialize in non-destructive, chemical-free method to recover precious metals sustainably
