Our fact sheets cover the different stages of the supply chain (primary production/mining, secondary production/recycling) as well as autocatalysts as a key application.

Find out more on the PGM industry and the sustainable use of PGMs by reading our Environmental Profile of PGMs.

It presents basic information about PGMs (production, facts, applications) and explains the goal and scope of the second IPA Life Cycle Assessment of PGMs (2017 data) which was conducted to measure the environmental footprint of our metals.

The LCA Fact Sheet on Iridium and Ruthenium summarizes the main technical and methodological information and presents the main outcomes.
