Why Recycle Aircraft Spark Plugs?
Aircraft spark plugs are far more valuable than automotive spark plugs due to their high precious metal content. Here’s why recycling them is profitable:
High Platinum & Iridium Content – Fine-wire spark plugs can contain 50+ worth of precious metals each.
Steady Supply – Aircraft maintenance shops, flight schools, and private owners regularly replace them.
Eco-Friendly Business – Recycling prevents hazardous waste and recovers valuable resources.
Scalable Profits – From small hobbyists to large-scale refiners, there’s money to be made.
Types of Aircraft Spark Plugs & Their Value
1. Fine-Wire Spark Plugs (Highest Value)
Metals: Platinum or iridium electrodes
Examples: Champion REM40E, Tempest UREM40E, Denso W20EP-U
Value: 50+ per plug (depends on wear & market prices)
2. Massive Electrode Spark Plugs (Lower Value)
Metals: Smaller amounts of platinum
Examples: Champion RHM38E, Tempest URHM38E
