Emission Partner at ‘Hallo Niedersachsen’: Why are more and more catalytic converter thieves striking?

As an independent catalytic converter manufacturer, Emission Partner not only produces the required catalytic converters for stationary engines, but also takes care of the disposal or recycling of old catalytic converters that need to be replaced.

Catalytic converters contain high-priced materials such as platinum, palladium and rhodium. In a certain composition, these materials ensure a chemical reaction with the exhaust gases. If the catalytic converter can no longer fulfil the required limit values due to various factors, it must be replaced. Nevertheless, there are still residual stocks of the coveted substances in the catalytic converter. These can then be utilised by Emission Partner in scrap catalytic converter recycling.

Because of these valuable precious metals, catalytic converters are often stolen and then sold, especially in the automotive sector. In a short report by ‘Hallo Niedersachsen’, attention is drawn to this problem and Emission Partner is consulted.
