Our post cremation recycling services utilizes three factors:
More about our post cremation recycling services below.
Collection is when all metal materials are collected and placed into containers by crematory operators. Gold, silver, palladium and other precious metals do not break down easily during this process. However, these metals provide 99% of their value when fully collected. Direct Recycling Systems will help you form a dignified and respectful recovery process, while helping you to maintain full integrity in the process. We can schedule pickups at your convenience and ensure operations run smoothly. Once the metals get to our facility, then our staff can process and separate all of the metal alloys.
Once collection is complete and the metals make it to our facility, then we move into the refinement. This is where all metal recyclables are examined, weighed and evaluated. Then, all of the materials are processed and melted into an unrecognizable state. The melted materials are then returned into the market where they are re-purposed for other products. We handle our refinement process with the most gentle and efficient care. Thus ensures all precious metals are fully broken down for maximum value.
Last, but not least, is the assay. After the cremation recycling process is completed, we will print out a detailed Assay Report for you to keep for your records. This is a thorough report of the post cremation recycling job. All proceeds are distributed as instructed. You can do with them as you like.

Crematory operators only have two choices when it comes done on what to do with the metals after a cremation:
In general, fewer precious metals need to be mined if already existing metals are properly recycled and are available for
reuse in the marketplace. And not only that, but some of these metals have a high trading value, too. What it comes down to is whether or not it is convenient to start recycling metals after cremation. We, as a society, have become more and more aware of the negative environmental impact of putting heavy metals into the ground. This process not only contaminates the soil and groundwater, but is also likely in violation of codes. Recently, recycling has become more of an expectation. And with the help of Direct Recycling Systems, we make post cremation recycling easy! The aerospace, automotive, medical, military and technology industries all utilize recycled and repurposed metals. So the impact of post cremation recycling is evident in many facets of day-to-day life.
Nearly all of the metals you will encounter will be classified as “native metals." These are any metal that are found in its metallic form either as pure or as an alloy, in nature. After the cremation process, there are an abundance of hip and knee implants that are found. These are made of titanium or chrome-cobalt alloys and are very resistant to heat and wear. However, they have very little monetary value and are quite difficult to deal with due to their size. However, these metals are commonly used in aerospace, automotive, medical, military and technology industries, so recycling them is still very beneficial.
What is Implant Metal Recycling?
Since these low-grade implant metals melt at a much higher temperature than precious metals, they should not be smelted together. The simplest way to avoid the commingling these of types of metals is to separate them by hand when putting cremated remains in your processor or by using a separating processor with a screen ahead of the funnel that catches small pieces. Separating out the dental material from the less valuable material during this process gives you a better handle on how much high-value material you are turning in for recycling.
