Lifezone Recovers Platinum, Palladium, Rhodium from U.S. Catalytic Converter Recycling
Lifezone Metals Limited announced that its hydrometallurgical process has successfully extracted platinum, palladium and rhodium from U.S.-sourced spent automotive catalytic converters. The company completed 1,179 locked‑cycle runs, yielding a significant batch of precious metals and demonstrating the commercial viability of large‑scale recycling.

The addition of recycled supply could ease short‑to‑medium‑term price pressure on PT, PD and RH, especially if the project scales up. It also signals a growing trend toward hydrometallurgical recycling, potentially encouraging further projects that add to market supply.
