The Hidden Value of Iridium in Electronic Waste

While gold and silver often dominate discussions about e-waste recycling, iridium is a high-value metal frequently overlooked in discarded electronics. Found in OLED displays, high-performance connectors, and specialized semiconductors, iridium scrap can be a lucrative revenue stream when properly recovered.

At Dingfeng Precious Metals Recovery, we employ automated sorting and advanced refining techniques to extract iridium from:

• Smartphone and TV screens (containing iridium-coated layers)
• Aerospace and defense electronics (used in critical components)
• Industrial sensors and electrodes

Our facility processes over 50 metric tons of e-waste monthly, recovering approximately 1.2 kg of iridium—worth over $175,000 at current market prices.

We also prioritize data security for clients disposing of IT equipment, ensuring complete destruction of sensitive information before material processing.
