Our Process

Our Custom Built Induction Furnaces are Industry Best.

How Our Process Works

We make post-cremation metal recycling simple, secure, and profitable. From collection to final payment, every step is carefully managed to ensure accuracy, transparency, and maximum value for our partners.

01.

Send Us Your Post-Cremation Scrap

You will receive a free, pre-paid container for collecting noncombustible materials such as pacemakers, surgical implants, and dental alloys.

Once enough scrap material has been accumulated for recycling, your designated Progressive Environmental Account Manager will schedule a free pickup at your location.

02.

We Sort, Recycle, and Refine

Once the container has been received by our facility, the recyclable material is weighed and photographed under video surveillance on a precision scale to guarantee safety and accuracy. After weighing, each lot is assigned a unique ID number and is placed in a secure location until sorting.

Your post-cremation scrap is now ready to be sorted according to the different alloys contained therein. Our certified technicians and chemists sort and analyze the material for purity and value utilizing the most accurate means of assessment – fire assay.

03.

You Get Paid

Our returns are the best in the business, paying you more the most for your precious metals. You’ll receive full payment on all metals in as little as 24 hours.

After analysis, the final total value of the post-cremation scrap is added up disbursed based on your request.

Precious Metals From Funeral Homes and Crematories

All material you provide is checked-in and photographed, weighed, sorted and enter in our system for processing under video surveillance.

Surgical Implants

Safely recycle metal components from surgical implants, ensuring accurate tracking and maximum return.

Dental Implants

We handle dental alloys with precision, weighing, sorting, and processing each piece to determine its full value.

Pacemakers

Noncombustible materials like pacemakers are securely collected and processed under strict surveillance for safety and transparency.

Gold

Silver

Platinum

Palladium

Harvesting Precious Metals

We start by melting your material in one of our induction furnaces while also adding the appropriate custom blended flux to remove impurities.

Then we thoroughly mix the molten material to insure a uniform sample, lift out the crucible, and pour the liquid metal into a mold – creating a solid bar for testing.

To assess the content of your scraps, we use fire assay and Atomic Absorption – viewed as the most accurate means of determining gold and silver content — up to 1 part in 10,000 on gold.

Frequently
Asked Questions

 
Yes. Should you desire to “lock-in” your metal price at a price you desire prior to the posting of the 2nd London Fix on the following day, simply contact your sales representative when you feel the price is right for you, and the price will be locked by our trading desk.
In the event you wish to place your material on consignment and have your precious metal collected in a pool account for payment in the future, contact your sales representative.

We accept non-combustible medical and dental metals, including surgical implants, dental alloys/implants, and pacemakers. Every item is checked in, photographed, weighed, sorted, and processed under video surveillance.

Once your materials arrive, they are weighed and photographed. Then our certified technicians analyze the alloys using precise methods like fire assay and atomic absorption to determine purity. The resulting value is calculated based upon current market prices, usually referencing standards such as the “2nd London Fix.”

After analysis, testing and assay are complete, a settlement is prepared. You’ll receive a detailed report of the weight, assay results, and then the computed value. Once everything is confirmed, your payment is disbursed based on your pre-specified method.
