Yes, non-ferrous metals are generally more valuable than ferrous metals. Non-ferrous metals, such as copper, aluminum, brass, bronze, and stainless steel, have properties that make them highly sought after for recycling. They are often more expensive and have a higher market value due to their superior conductivity, corrosion resistance, and other desirable characteristics. In contrast, ferrous metals like iron and steel are more common and less expensive.

When e-waste is recycled, it undergoes a process that typically involves sorting, dismantling, and separating its various components. Valuable materials like metals and plastics are extracted and sent for further processing, while hazardous substances are carefully treated or disposed of. The recovered materials are then used to manufacture new products, reducing the need for raw materials and minimizing environmental impact. Recycling e-waste helps recover valuable resources and prevents harmful substances from entering the environment.

To identify the type of catalytic converter you have, you can look for markings or codes engraved on the shell. These markings often indicate the manufacturer, model, and specific characteristics of the converter. Additionally, you can consult online databases or contact a professional recycler who can assist you in identifying the type based on its physical appearance and specifications.
