Chevrolet HHR: unlocking the value in your catalytic converter

100 – 200 thousand kilometers is approximately how long an average modern catalytic converter lasts. Developed back in the middle of the last century, catalytic converters today are designed to meet Euro standards, effectively reducing harmful exhaust emissions. Once an emission control device reaches the end of its service life, it can be given a second lease on life through recycling.

Many people are unaware of the value contained within a car's catalytic converter, even after it has malfunctioned. Poor-quality fuel and harsh vehicle operation can lead to premature wear and tear. Therefore, it's essential to understand the worth of a used catalytic converter for Chevrolet HHR when the time comes, as there are Buyers interested in its contents.

Exploring catalytic converter value

Beneath the full-metal casing lies a core, typically in the form of ceramic cells with catalytic coating. This catalytic layer consists of PGM – the platinum group metals which are platinum, palladium, and rhodium in particular. These are precious metals that constitute the value of a worn converter for catalytic recycling. Within the device itself, catalysts accelerate chemical reactions occurring at high temperatures and break down exhaust gas elements into harmless substances.

Under such stress, the catalytic cells can fuse, become clogged with decomposition products, and deform, eventually leading to removal and replacement. However, the precious metals are still inside and hold recycling value which you can estimate on the AutoCatalystMarket website.

Deciphering catalytic converter price

When discussing the second life of emission control devices, it's important to note that they cannot be repaired and reinstalled in a vehicle. Therefore, we scrap the catalytic converter and find a Buyer company near you in this regard. You can locate such companies on the AutoCatalystMarket website by selecting your region and their contact data will be present in accordance. Buyers operate in both the B2B and B2C segments of the market and are interested in buying scrap catalytic converters as well.

Understanding catalytic converter scrap price

Car brands do not have a direct impact on catalytic price, as most of them rely on the services of third-party Manufacturers specializing in emission control device production. The brand of the car also does not impact the price of a used catalytic converter for sale. To find out the price for your Chevrolet HHR catalyst, you can visit the AutoCatalystMarket website and use your device's serial number or search for it in the Manufacturers section where you get up-to-date information.

Embarking on catalytic converter recycling

So, what happens to your emission control device when you sell it to Buyers? They lead it through a complete recycling process, which involves several stages aimed at determining the catalytic converter price per kg of scrap. First, they grind the honeycomb and form a sample for XRF analysis, which identifies the percentage of:

  • platinum;
  • palladium;
  • and rhodium in the spectrometer.

Then, having the value of an entire batch presented, we send it for refining.

Here, the process involves leaching, electrolysis, and furnace treatment. In this way, we get whole and pure platinum group metals without impurities from the source. Then we compare the prices of PGMs with the current precious metal exchange rates and calculate the final raw material value. Now we can use it in emission control device manufacturing and various other industries where these metals have utility.

Sell catalytic converter: transforming worn into worth

Do not dispose of your worn-out Chevrolet HHR emission control device in a rush, as you can save on purchasing a new one by recycling it. Find Buyer companies near you on the AutoCatalystMarket website that will assist you through the entire process from scrapping to refining. This is a convenient way to make the most of modern times, where we value our shared time and can still benefit from faulty equipment
