The Hidden Treasure in Your Waste: Ruthenium Recycling Explained
Recycling ruthenium offers both environmental and economic advantages. It reduces dependence on mining, cuts down on hazardous waste, and returns valuable metal to the supply chain. Moreover, it’s a key step toward a circular economy — one where nothing is wasted, and everything has a second life.

In today’s rapidly advancing world, the need for rare and strategic metals like ruthenium has never been greater. Yet surprisingly, much of this precious metal ends up in landfills — hidden in discarded electronics, old catalysts, and industrial waste.
Ruthenium (Ru) is a rare transition metal in the platinum group, prized for its resistance to corrosion, electrical conductivity, and catalytic performance. It’s found in products like electrical contacts, chip resistors, chemical process equipment, and even solar panels. Despite its small quantities in individual components, the cumulative value in industrial waste is significant.
At Dingfeng Precious Metals Recovery, we’re helping industries uncover this hidden treasure. Our advanced techniques allow us to recover ruthenium from a variety of sources, such as:
Spent chemical catalysts
Electronic scrap and PCB boards
Vacuum deposition targets
Waste solutions from plating or electrochemical processes
Recycling ruthenium offers both environmental and economic advantages. It reduces dependence on mining, cuts down on hazardous waste, and returns valuable metal to the supply chain. Moreover, it’s a key step toward a circular economy — one where nothing is wasted, and everything has a second life.
We encourage manufacturers, laboratories, and recyclers to partner with us. Dingfeng’s experienced team provides metal analysis, logistics, and high-efficiency refining — ensuring maximum value and full regulatory compliance.
Let’s rethink waste. Let’s reclaim value.
