Discover the True Value of Used Spark Plugs in the Precious Metals Market

Used spark plugs are often overlooked in the scrap metal industry, but at Dingfeng Precious Metals, we recognize their real worth. Spark plugs contain trace amounts of precious metals that hold high market value and offer excellent recycling potential.

What’s Inside a Used Spark Plug?

Modern spark plugs are designed with durability in mind. To withstand high heat and intense wear, manufacturers use materials like platinum, palladium, and rhodium on the electrodes. Though small in quantity per unit, these metals are extremely valuable when recovered in bulk.

• Platinum: Widely used for its heat resistance and long-lasting properties

• Palladium: Increasingly valuable due to its role in emissions control systems

• Rhodium: Rare and expensive, used in high-end spark plugs and catalytic converters

  
  

Why Bulk Spark Plug Recycling Matters

With the global demand for precious metals rising, recycling spark plugs is no longer just an eco-friendly option—it is a financially rewarding opportunity. When collected in large volumes, used spark plugs can be a steady source of revenue for scrap dealers, exporters, and auto industry professionals.

Recycling these components also reduces the need for mining raw materials, helping support a more sustainable and circular economy.
