Nap Metals works with both individual sellers and businesses of all sizes. There is no strict minimum quantity required — whether you have a single catalytic converter or a large batch of automotive scrap, we are happy to evaluate your materials and make an offer. However, larger quantities may qualify for preferential pricing. Contact us directly to discuss your specific situation.

We use a comprehensive assay process to accurately assess the precious metal content in catalytic converters. Our advanced techniques allow us to determine the exact quantities of platinum, palladium, and rhodium, which are the main valuable metals found in converters. Based on this precise analysis, we ensure our clients receive the highest possible return for their materials.

In addition to catalytic converters, Nap Metals buys and recycles a variety of automotive parts, including:

• Alternators
• Starters
• AC Compressors
• Engine Control Modules (ECMs)
• Car Radios
• Copper
• Wiring

These components contain valuable metals that can be recovered and reused, supporting sustainability efforts and reducing waste.

We offer several flexible submission options to meet your needs:

• Collection Service: We can arrange for your materials to be picked up from your location.
• Drop-off Option: You’re welcome to bring your materials to our designated facility.
• Shipping: If you prefer, you can ship your items to us, ensuring they are securely packaged for safe transit.

Our payment process is designed to be transparent and efficient. After an initial visual inspection, we provide an immediate payment of up to 80% of the estimated value of your materials. Once the detailed analysis is complete—usually within 3 business days for small quantities and up to 14 days for larger batches—we will process the remaining payment promptly.

Recycling catalytic converters and vehicle parts helps conserve natural resources and reduce the demand for mining. Catalytic converters contain precious metals like platinum, palladium, and rhodium, which are rare and costly to extract from the earth. By recycling these metals, we reduce the environmental impact of mining operations and ensure that valuable materials are reused instead of being discarded in landfills. This process also helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promotes a more sustainable future.

At Nap Metals, we recycle alternators and starters by dismantling them and recovering valuable materials such as copper, aluminum, and steel. These metals are then reintroduced into the manufacturing cycle, reducing the need for raw material extraction. By recycling alternators and starters, we help reduce waste in the automotive industry and support the conservation of resources.

Yes, Nap Metals specializes in the recycling of wires and copper from vehicles. We strip wires down to recover valuable copper and other metals, which are then repurposed for use in new products. This process not only reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills but also conserves natural resources by reducing the demand for new copper mining.

At Nap Metals, our prices are based on current precious metal spot prices (platinum, palladium, and rhodium) and real-time market data, meaning our offers reflect actual market conditions at the time of purchase. We operate with full transparency — you are always welcome to ask how your price was calculated. For assay-based purchases, you will receive a detailed report of the analysis results. Our goal is a long-term relationship with every client, and that starts with honest, competitive pricing.

Direct purchasing:

• The converters can either be collected at your place or handed over at our warehouse.
• On site evaluation.
• Transparent, consistent grading of your catalytic converters.
• Full amount paid immediately on site or via wire transfer/check/cash.
• Friendly and profit-building relationship with a professional and dedicated catalytic converter grader.
• Current grade prices are available on request.

Purchasing by assay:

• The converters can either be collected at your place or handed over at our warehouse.
• Based on visual assessment we pay up to 85% of the estimated value instantly.
• Accurately determining quantities of platinum, palladium, and rhodium in your lot requires seven to ten working days (more for metallic converters), after which the remaining payment can be done immediately.
• Trading your metals with us will ensure you receive the highest return on your catalytic converters.
• Terms and conditions are available on request.

The purchase price of automotive catalysts changes frequently due to fluctuations in the market prices of precious metals like platinum, palladium, and rhodium, which are core components of catalytic converters. These metals are traded as commodities, and their prices are influenced by factors such as supply and demand, mining availability, and global market conditions. Currency exchange rates and changes in technology also contribute to price variations, making the market highly dynamic.
