When it comes to precious metal labware, every gram counts—literally. Whether you use platinum crucibles, gold evaporation dishes, or palladium alloys in your laboratory, the cost of replacing them outright can quickly add up. But here’s the good news: you may not need to buy new material at all.

At Birmingham Metal , we offer a straightforward and cost-effective recycling service for used or damaged precious metal labware. If you already own the metal, why pay for it again?

Here’s how it works:

Send us your used labware—we’ll assess it, refine the material, and return the pure metal content to you as a credit.
Use that credit toward the purchase of brand-new labware—fabricated to your specifications, with minimal additional cost for processing and workmanship.
Avoid paying full metal market value—since you already own the material, your outlay is limited to refining and manufacturing, not buying precious metal at today’s high spot prices.

This process is especially valuable if you’re sitting on a stockpile of old or broken equipment. Many labs underestimate just how much value is tied up in their scrap metal.

We work with labs, research institutions, and manufacturers around the world, helping them stretch their budgets without compromising on quality. Our ISO 9001-certified facility ensures that every gram is tracked, refined, and returned with full transparency and precision.

Get in Touch

If you have unused platinum, gold, palladium, or any other precious metal equipment, we’d be happy to provide an estimate. We also offer a full range of fabrication services—so whether you want like-for-like replacements or a completely new design, we can help.

Recycle your labware. Reclaim your value.
