Our Mission
In 2025, we launched Refinis with a bold vision: to keep precious metals in circulation — forever. We're not just another recycling company. We are one of Europe's most advanced catalytic converter recycling facilities, purpose-built in Lithuania to transform spent automotive catalysts into the platinum, palladium, and rhodium that industries around the world rely on.

Why We Built It
Our journey began with 15 years of hands-on experience in precious metals recovery across Europe. But over time, it became clear: the industry needed more than just collection and trading. It needed transformation. So, we built our own state-of-the-art processing plant — equipped with cutting-edge plasma furnace technology that not only maximizes recovery efficiency but also neutralizes harmful emissions in the process.

The Challenge We’re Solving
The problem is urgent. Europe currently imports over 70% of its platinum group metals, creating supply chain risks and environmental costs that impact entire industries. At the same time, recovering one kilogram of platinum from used catalysts consumes just 13% of the energy required to mine the same amount from virgin ore — a powerful reduction in CO₂ emissions and resource use.

Our Commitment to Change
At Refinis, we see this as both an opportunity and a responsibility. Every component of our facility — from the corrosion-resistant systems to multi-stage environmental controls — reflects years of planning, engineering, and investment. We’ve designed everything to meet the highest environmental standards while maximizing recovery and minimizing waste. It hasn’t been easy. From securing specialized infrastructure to engineering systems that handle the complexity of industrial-scale catalyst recycling, we’ve faced and overcome major challenges. Working hand-in-hand with local partners and engineers, we’ve built more than just a processing facility — we've built a commitment to Europe’s circular economy and industrial resilience.

Our Benefits
Why Choose Refinis?
Because precision, transparency, and results matter.
In an industry where trust is earned through consistent performance, Refinis stands out. Here's what sets us apart from other precious metals recyclers:
01
Advanced Technology, Proven Results
While many recyclers rely on outdated smelting methods, our electric plasma furnace technology delivers superior recovery rates with dramatically lower environmental impact. Our multi-stage gas cleaning systems don't just meet environmental standards – they exceed them. The result? Higher yields for your materials and lower environmental costs for your business. Our recovery rates consistently outperform industry averages, meaning more value from every kilogram of catalyst you process with us.
