The Critical Role of Spark Plug Recycling in Sustainability
Spark plugs are vital for internal combustion engines, but their end-of-life disposal poses environmental risks. Over 1 billion spark plugs are discarded globally each year, many ending up in landfills where heavy metals like nickel and copper can leach into soil. Dingfeng Precious Metals addresses this challenge by recycling spark plugs to recover platinum, iridium, and other precious metals, reducing reliance on mining and supporting circular economies.

Introduction
Spark plugs are vital for internal combustion engines, but their end-of-life disposal poses environmental risks. Over 1 billion spark plugs are discarded globally each year, many ending up in landfills where heavy metals like nickel and copper can leach into soil. Dingfeng Precious Metals addresses this challenge by recycling spark plugs to recover platinum, iridium, and other precious metals, reducing reliance on mining and supporting circular economies.
Why Recycle Spark Plugs?
Resource Conservation: Mining 1 ton of platinum requires processing 10,000 tons of ore, whereas recycling recovers the same amount from just 1 ton of scrap spark plugs.
Environmental Protection: Recycling prevents toxic metals from contaminating ecosystems and cuts CO2 emissions by up to 60% compared to mining.
Economic Value: Spark plugs contain up to 0.5 grams of platinum-group metals (PGMs), making them a lucrative source of recyclable materials.
Dingfeng’s Commitment
As a ISO 14001-certified recycler, Dingfeng uses closed-loop systems to ensure zero waste. Our proprietary hydrometallurgical extraction process recovers 99% of PGMs from scrap spark plugs, aligning with global sustainability goals.
