We will arrange to ship metal powder and sludge from your business to our plant regardless of where you are in the world. Most of our metal powder and sludge feedstock comes from the thermal spray industry. We also buy filter cake from nickel platters, sludge from grinding operations, stainless steel manufacturers and many other industries. We recycle scrap nickel powder, scrap cobalt powder, scrap molybdenum powder, scrap tungsten carbide powder, brass powder, bronze powder, copper powder, iron powder, stainless steel powder from stainless and steel mill scale.

Spent Catalyst Recycling

Globe Metal® recycles spent catalyst materials from the chemical, petrochemical, and oil industries, dealing with hydrogenation, adhesives and food production. As a result, Globe Metal® recycles spent nickel catalysts (Ni), spent molybdenum catalysts (Mo), spent tungsten catalyst (W), spent copper catalysts (Cu), spent platinum catalysts (Pt), spent cobalt catalysts (Co) and raney nickel catalyst scrap.

Waste Streams That Contain Metals

A growing part of Globe Metal®’s worldwide recycling business is recovering metal from materials that were previously destined for landfills. We’ll take a look at any waste material that contains metal to see if we can find a home in our global network – contributing to the circular economy and keeping waste out of landfills.

Mining Equipment Recycling (Types)

Globe Metal® has developed a worldwide network for recycling mining scrap. Since 1975 we’ve purchased mining compacts, tricones and hammer bits from mining operations around the world.

Turnings/Chips/Swarf

Turnings, also known as chips or swarf, are pieces of metal leftover from subtractive manufacturing processes. This often occurs in industries like 3D printing or machining.

Globe Metal® is a ISO certified metal recycler and a proud member of Minor Metals Trade Association.
