Platinum metals

Platinum group metals (PGMs) are facing major structural shifts in the global market. Supply instability and surging demand are reshaping the industry. Dong-A Special Metals, Inc. is closely monitoring these developments while driving innovation in rare metal recycling.


Supply Chain Fragility and Geopolitical Risks

The global supply of platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium, and osmium is heavily dependent on South Africa and Russia. These two countries dominate production. However, mining restructuring in South Africa and ongoing restrictions in Russia have caused severe supply chain disruptions.


This geographical concentration makes PGMs extremely vulnerable. Political unrest or trade barriers in either region instantly affects the global supply chain. Industries dependent on PGMs must now turn to alternative sourcing strategies.


Recycling: A Critical Solution for Supply and Sustainability

Recycling of platinum group metals has become increasingly vital. Technological advances in recovery from catalysts, industrial equipment, and electronics make recycling both economically and environmentally attractive. It reduces reliance on volatile imports and supports ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals.


Dong-A Special Metals leads this transformation. Using proprietary technology, we recover iridium powder from titanium mesh—a byproduct often discarded by petrochemical plants. Many companies are unaware that this titanium mesh still holds valuable iridium. As the only company in Korea with dry-process iridium recovery technology, we fill this crucial gap in the supply chain.


Expanding Applications in High-Tech Industries

PGMs are indispensable in high-performance industries:

- Electrical and Electronics: Palladium and ruthenium are essential in microcircuits, sensors, and hard disk components.

- Automotive: Rhodium, platinum, and palladium are used in catalytic converters to meet strict emission standards.

- Hydrogen Fuel Cells and Aerospace: PGMs enable high-performance fuel cells and heat-resistant materials for aerospace applications.

Demand continues to rise. The electrical and electronics sector is growing at an average of 6.7% annually. Automotive demand is increasing by 4.0% annually, driven by stricter emissions regulations and EV growth.


Dong-A Special Metals: Driving ESG Through Rare Metal Recycling

We are committed to the sustainable circulation of rare resources. Our advanced recycling technology helps domestic chemical companies and manufacturers lead ESG initiatives. By recovering PGMs from overlooked scrap materials, we improve resource efficiency and reduce lead times.

If your company is exploring sustainable sourcing or rare metal recycling, contact Dong-A Special Metals. We are ready to assist with solutions that align with global trends and national strategies.
