Hong Kong DONGSHENG METAL Trading Co., Ltd. is expanding its global titanium and precious metal recycling operations, recovering valuable metals such as platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, and ruthenium from industrial scrap and titanium anodes. With advanced recycling and refining technologies and an international network across Asia and Europe, DONGSHENG supports sustainable metal recovery while reducing waste, energy consumption, and reliance on virgin materials. The company continues to invest in innovative recycling solutions and global market expansion.
China, 19th Aug 2026 - The core of DONGSHENG’s titanium recycling business lies in extracting high-value elements from titanium scrap containing precious metals. For example, titanium anode, MMO anodes, DSA anodes, and titanium electrodes used in the chlor-alkali industry and electroplating processes are all coated with precious metals such as platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, and ruthenium. Through specialized titanium recycling processes, DONGSHENG separates and purifies the precious metals from the titanium matrix in these scrap materials. After purification, the recovered materials achieve a purity of 90% to 99%. According to 2026 market data, the purchase price of pure titanium sheet scrap (new scrap) from specialized dealers in Japan ranges from 320 to 370 yen per kilogram, with the actual market rate at approximately $4.80 per kilogram. Aerospace-grade Ti-6Al-4V alloy scrap typically trades at a discount of 65% to 75% off the price of virgin titanium sponge. Meanwhile, titanium scrap containing precious metals commands a significantly higher recycling price than ordinary titanium scrap due to the value of the platinum group metals attached to it.
DONGSHENG Establishes a Global Network of State-of-the-Art Precious Metal Recycling Plants
Hong Kong DONGSHENG METAL Trading Co., Ltd. has established a global precious metal recycling industrial chain with titanium and nickel recycling as its two core pillars. Headquartered in Dongguan, the company operates a processing plant in Xinxing County, Yunfu, covering an area of over 4,000 square meters. It currently employs more than 100 staff members, including over 50 professional technicians. DONGSHENG’s precious metals recycling business has expanded globally, establishing recycling and refining-focused industrial chains in Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, as well as in Europe. The materials recycled by the company include titanium anodes, titanium electrodes, MMO or DSA anode, nickel mesh, nickel scrap, iridium wire, titanium scrap, printed circuit boards (PCBs), cemented carbide, catalytic converters, precious metal catalysts, iridium spark plugs, and high-temperature alloys. In the field of precious metal recycling, DONGSHENG has extended the service life of titanium anodes to over 8 years through patented technologies such as ultrasonic regeneration. Its titanium recycling products command a 10% price premium in the market. The global titanium recycling market is projected to grow from $6.3 billion in 2026 to $9.2 billion in 2034, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. In this rapidly growing market, DONGSHENG has secured a leading position through its globally distributed network of precious metal recycling plants.
The Environmental Significance of Titanium Recycling
Titanium production is an energy-intensive industry that poses significant environmental challenges. According to a 2026 study published in *Procedia CIRP*, recycling Ti6Al4V machining chips and employing a process combining sintering and forging can reduce the overall environmental impact by 85.8% compared to traditional manufacturing methods. This recycling process requires only 75.9 MJ of energy per kilogram of finished product and emits 3.1 kg of CO₂ equivalent. If a cleaner electricity mix (with a 36% increase in renewable energy) is used, the environmental impact can be further reduced by 20.8%. In March 2026, Asahi Kasei, Nippon Steel, and Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal jointly launched a titanium scrap recycling initiative to remelt pure titanium waste generated during the chlor-alkali electrolyzer production process into high-purity titanium. The initiative aims to reduce the environmental impact of electrolyzer production and enhance the value of recycled materials. In practice, DONGSHENG’s titanium recycling process ensures the quality of recycled titanium through strict impurity control and a digital traceability system.
