Old Out Of Date Catalyst Recycling by London Chemicals and Resources Ltd
Safe, Compliant and Sustainable Disposal of Expired Catalysts
If your business is storing old out of date catalyst materials, it’s essential to handle them responsibly. At London Chemicals and Resources Ltd (LCRL), we provide safe, legally compliant, and environmentally sound solutions for the disposal and recycling of expired catalysts across the UK and beyond. Whether your catalysts have exceeded their shelf life, failed testing, or are surplus to requirements, we offer a practical and profitable route forward.
What is an Old Out Of Date Catalyst?
An old out of date catalyst refers to a catalytic material that is no longer fit for use due to age, degradation, or storage issues. These materials are often unused but are no longer suitable for operational processes. Rather than treating them as waste, many still contain recoverable precious or base metals, including nickel, molybdenum, cobalt, vanadium, and platinum.
With LCRL, these catalysts can be recycled through specialist processes, returning value to your business and avoiding unnecessary environmental harm.
Why Choose London Chemicals and Resources Ltd?
London Chemicals and Resources Ltd is a UK-based industry leader in industrial recycling and metal recovery. With decades of expertise, a global treatment network, and a strong commitment to environmental compliance, we are the trusted choice for managing unused, expired, and hazardous materials responsibly.
Maximum Value Recovery
Even though your catalyst is out of date, it may still contain valuable metals. We assess every material and recover as much metal content as possible using approved refining and processing techniques. This turns your waste liability into a potential revenue stream.
Environmentally Responsible
Our focus is always on sustainable waste management. We work with fully licensed treatment facilities that prioritise recycling and resource recovery. This approach helps your business reduce landfill, meet ESG goals, and demonstrate environmental leadership.
Full Regulatory Compliance
Disposing of expired catalysts requires expert knowledge of UK and international waste regulations. We manage all documentation and logistics, including Transfrontier Shipment (TFS) paperwork, consignment notes, and certificates of recovery. You’ll receive a full audit trail for peace of mind.
