Market prices
Precious metal prices
The value in a catalytic converter comes from platinum, palladium and rhodium. Here's where the markets sit — refreshed each weekday morning, so you can see we price fairly against them.
What we buy
Materials we purchase
We work hand-in-hand with car breakers and dismantlers, buying the precious-metal-bearing parts they strip — at fair, market-linked prices.
DPFs
Diesel particulate filters carry valuable precious metals too. We buy DPFs of all makes and grade them accurately for the best return.
Catalyst Dust
Loose ceramic monolith and catalyst dust from decanning. We buy it by weight with fair, assay-based pricing — nothing goes to waste.
Car Looms & Wiring
Copper-rich wiring harnesses and car looms bought by weight — a simple extra revenue stream for every vehicle you strip.
About us
Built around car breakers
Northcat Recycling works directly with car breakers, dismantlers and salvage yards. We buy the precious-metal-bearing parts you strip every day — catalytic converters, DPFs, catalyst dust and copper-rich car looms — and turn them into fair, reliable payments.
We know the trade: accurate grading, transparent market-linked pricing and fast turnaround, so your scrapped parts become a dependable revenue stream rather than a pile in the corner of the yard.
