Gold vs. Platinum vs. Palladium: Maximising Your Precious Metal Recovery with BR Metals

In today’s volatile precious metals market, businesses and recyclers constantly seek ways to maximise returns from recovered metals. Three precious metals dominate discussions – Gold, Platinum, and Palladium. Each offers unique recovery opportunities, but which metal delivers the highest recovery value for your business?

 

Gold: Consistent Value, Exceptional Returns

Gold remains the cornerstone of precious metal recycling. Highly liquid and universally valued, gold recovered from electronics, jewellery sweeps and industrial scrap is in constant demand. BR Metals’ environmentally friendly recovery process ensures a remarkable recovery rate, consistently exceeding 99.9% purity. Our sustainable recovery methods minimise environmental impact, providing both economic and ethical value.

 

Why Choose BR Metals for Gold Recovery?

  • Guaranteed purity of 99.9X% from secondary sources
  • Environmentally sustainable processes
  • Fast, transparent settlements

 

Platinum: Rising Demand, Strategic Value

Platinum’s market value continues to rise, driven by increased demand from automotive, luxury jewellery, and renewable energy sectors. Its rarity and diverse applications make platinum recovery strategically valuable, particularly from industrial sources like catalytic converters. BR Metals employs proprietary sampling systems and advanced assay technologies to provide exceptional recovery accuracy and reliable valuations. Additionally, we offer competitive toll refining rates, comprehensive hedging services to effectively manage market fluctuations, and attractive lease rates tailored specifically for our purchase-based-on-assay (Model B) customers, ensuring your platinum scrap delivers optimum profitability.

  • Hedging services to mitigate market volatility
  • Attractive lease rates for Model B customers
  • Competitive toll refining rates with rapid settlements

 

Palladium: A Niche Market with Specialised Opportunities

While palladium’s market is narrower, primarily driven by gasoline automotive catalysts, it remains a valuable and rare metal. As auto manufacturers transition towards electric vehicles, the future of palladium recovery demands expertise to navigate market shifts.

BR Metals provides competitive purchase-based-on-assay (Model B) for specialised refining services and market insights to ensure customers benefit from optimal recovery opportunities even amidst fluctuating demand.

Additionally, our comprehensive hedging services protect your investments against market volatility, while attractive lease rates for purchase-based-on-assay (Model B) customers enhance your profitability.

  • Work with refineries with advanced refining techniques for superior palladium extraction
  • Reliable and transparent refining processes
  • Hedging solutions to manage market fluctuations effectively
  • Attractive lease rates for Model B customers
  • Expert market insights for informed decision-making
  • Transparent and competitive settlements

In a nutshell, for anyone evaluating recovery value, from scrap collectors to industrial recyclers:

  • Gold delivers unmatched returnability per ounce, especially from electronics and jewellery.
  • Platinum is the next best pick if available—its price upside and broad demand base lend strong recovery justification, though accessible scrap volumes are limited.
  • Palladium, while rare, currently offers less net value due to lower global demand structure and recycling dynamics.
