An Overview of Export of Crushed Milled Ceramic & Metal Catalyst to India
Recycling of Scrap materials for recovering precious and rare metals such as Platinum, Gold, Silver, etc., from various used products such as metal from catalytic converters and milled ceramic waste is quite complex and an extensive process due to their rarity in nature. Due to their rarity, these metals are also considered to be, by default, have an expensive value economically. Scrap that is gained from metal catalytic converter or milled ceramic waste can contain valuable metals such as Rhodium, Palladium and Platinum that are categorised under the Platinum Group of Metals or PGMs.
Due to the manufacturing value of the Platinum Group of Metals,also known as PGMs,being very limited due to their rarity resulting in being quite expensive economically, there will always be a high demand for scraps such as from metal catalytic converters or milled ceramic waste recycling procedure. Apart from the environmentally friendly point of view, the recycling procedure needs to be regulated precisely and carefully to avoid health and ecological endangerment as such scrap materials are considered to be hazardous waste.
The Government of India issued a restriction on the exportation of hazardous waste materials containing rare and expensive metals in India via a notification from the Ministry of Commerce.

The hazardous waste materials are valuable and are primarilyin the form of ash, which carries various metals such as Platinum, Clad with Platinum, Gold and Silver, etc.
In the current scenario, the exportation of scraps of hazardous waste, such as Crushed Milled Ceramic & Metal Catalyst, from India to other countries is “Free”, butThe Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) recently made an amendment to the export policy for materials of ash that contain precious metal compounds such as Platinum, gold, etc., from being “Free” to “Restricted” with immediate effect for of scraps of hazardous waste, such as Crushed Milled Ceramic & Metal Catalyst to be exported to India as mentioned in the notification dated 29th April 2022.
