Everything You Need to Know About Particulate Filter Recycling
A soot filter, or diesel particulate filter (DPF), is found in virtually every modern diesel car. It captures soot particles from the exhaust gases and burns them at high temperatures. The ceramic core contains a thin coating of platinum and palladium—precious metals with significant market value. A discarded soot filter is therefore not waste, but a raw material.
At Krommenhoek Metals, we buy used particulate filters and process them responsibly. We determine their value based on the type of vehicle, the age of the filter, and the actual precious metal content as measured. Not sure what your filter is worth?
