A catalytic converter is installed in the exhaust system, typically between the engine and the muffler. Placed in this position, it treats exhaust gases by converting harmful pollutants into less toxic emissions through specialized chemical reactions before the gases exit into the atmosphere.

Inside, the converter contains a ceramic honeycomb core coated with precious metals—platinum, palladium, and rhodium. These metals serve as catalysts, accelerating chemical reactions without being consumed.

We recycle catalytic converters, DPFs, and DOC and SIC units, as well as all forms of foil!!

Being an ethical catalytic converter buyer in Alberta—especially in a major hub like Edmonton means operating with transparency, compliance, and respect for both the law and the community. Ethical buyers verify all seller information, record proper identification, and ensure every converter is sourced legitimately rather than from theft or unregistered channels. They follow Alberta’s scrap metal legislation, maintain clear documentation, and work only with reputable recyclers who process materials responsibly. By prioritizing honesty, fair pricing, and environmental stewardship, an ethical catalytic converter buyer helps reduce crime, supports legitimate automotive businesses, and contributes to a cleaner, more trustworthy industry.
