Why Recycling Scrap Spark Plugs Matters – A Dingfeng Perspective

Every year, millions of spark plugs are replaced worldwide, and too many end up as scrap steel or landfill waste. At Dingfeng Precious Metals, we see this as a missed opportunity. These small components contain platinum and iridium—precious metals with significant economic and industrial value. Recycling them isn’t just smart; it’s essential for a sustainable future.
Spark plugs are the heart of an engine, igniting fuel to keep vehicles running. Over time, they wear out, but their metal content remains intact. Platinum, with its high melting point and resistance to corrosion, and iridium, known for its hardness, are embedded in the electrodes. At Dingfeng, we’ve perfected the art of recovering these metals from scrap spark plugs, ensuring nothing goes to waste.

The environmental benefits are clear. Recycling reduces the demand for new mining, which can devastate ecosystems and consume vast energy resources. Economically, it’s a game-changer—repair shops and businesses can earn cash by partnering with us to recycle their scrap. Our process is simple: collect your used spark plugs, send them to us, and let our team handle the rest. We even provide collection services for bulk quantities, making it hassle-free.
Dingfeng Precious Metals has built a reputation as a leader in precious metal recycling. By choosing us, you’re not just clearing out clutter—you’re contributing to a circular economy where materials are reused rather than discarded. Ready to make a difference?
