Catalyst Service – Expert Recovery and Recycling by London Chemicals and Resources Ltd
At London Chemicals and Resources Ltd (LCRL), we specialise in providing a professional and sustainable Catalyst Service for industries across the UK and beyond. Our expertise lies in the safe handling, processing, and recovery of valuable materials from spent catalysts used in refining, petrochemical, and manufacturing operations.
With decades of experience in chemical recycling and industrial waste recovery, LCRL offers a complete service that covers collection, treatment, metal recovery, and compliance support. We combine advanced technology with a commitment to environmental responsibility, helping businesses reduce waste, recover value, and stay fully compliant with UK and international regulations.
What Is a Catalyst Service?
Catalysts are used in many industrial processes to speed up chemical reactions. Over time, these catalysts become “spent” or inactive but still contain valuable metals such as platinum, palladium, rhodium, and nickel. A professional Catalyst Service ensures that these materials are handled correctly, processed safely, and recycled responsibly.
At London Chemicals and Resources Ltd, our Catalyst Service covers every stage of this process — from the safe collection of hazardous waste to spent catalyst recycling and recovery of precious metals. Our clients benefit from a seamless, fully managed solution that turns waste into a valuable resource.
