PMR

For 30 years, PMR has helped shape the catalytic converter recycling industry by challenging traditional ways of doing business and building better solutions for recyclers. Since 1996, our focus has remained clear: deliver accurate results, transparent processes, reliable settlements, and real partnerships that help suppliers grow with confidence. 

In an industry where metal markets move quickly, material quality varies, and purchasing decisions carry real financial risk, recyclers need more than a processor. They need a partner who understands the full picture — from converter acquisition and grading to sampling, assay, hedging, settlement, and long-term business strategy. That is where PMR continues to stand apart. 

A process built for accuracy and transparency. 

Our process is built around precision, speed, and visibility. Through advanced sampling methods, ISO-accredited laboratory analysis, and clear settlement reporting, PMR helps recyclers better understand the true value of their catalytic converter material. 

Whether you are shipping small lots, managing multiple yards, separating material by category, or building a more data-driven converter program, our systems are designed to give you visibility at every stage of the refining process. 

Tools that help recyclers evaluate smarter. 

PMR’s commitment to innovation is rooted in one simple belief: better information leads to better decisions. For automotive recyclers, that information often starts at the point of vehicle acquisition, where understanding potential converter value can help determine whether an end-of-life vehicle is worth purchasing. 

Through PMR’s car buying tool, recyclers gain added insight into the potential converter value associated with a vehicle, helping them assess inventory, bid more confidently, and better understand overall profitability. 

PMR also supports recyclers with an inventory box system designed for evaluation purposes, helping suppliers organize, track, and assess converter material more efficiently before processing. 

PMR’s Supplier Services Platform give automotive recyclers clearer visibility, stronger tracking, and better data to support smarter business decisions. 

People who understand your business. 

Technology alone is not what defines PMR. Our strength comes from combining advanced systems with experienced people who are committed to supplier success. 

From our sales and supplier support teams to our operations, logistics, and laboratory departments, every part of our organization is focused on helping recyclers move material efficiently, understand their results, and maximize returns. 

Solutions that adapt to your goals. 

Every supplier’s business is different. Some need faster cash flow. Some need flexible hedging and tolling options. Some need support training their teams to identify and purchase converters more profitably. Others need better tracking, clearer reporting, or a processing partner who can adapt as their operation grows. 

PMR’s approach is not one-size-fits-all. We work with suppliers to understand their needs, their material, and their goals, then provide solutions that support the way they do business. 

Built for what comes next. 

As PMR celebrates three decades of people, progress, and purpose, we are proud of the foundation we have built — but even more focused on where the industry is going. 

Converter recycling continues to evolve. Supplier expectations are higher. Technology is advancing. Markets are more complex. In response, PMR continues to invest in process improvement, research, advanced equipment, data-driven tools, and the partnerships that have always been at the center of our story. 

We are not here to simply process converters. We are here to help recyclers build stronger, smarter, and more profitable converter programs. 

After 30 years, PMR remains committed to the same values that brought us here: precision, transparency, innovation, accountability, and trust. And as the industry continues to change, we will continue moving forward with the suppliers who have helped shape our journey. 

PMR is proud to be your partner in catalytic converter recycling — today, tomorrow, and for what comes next.
