WASHINGTON, April 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The recycled materials industry is calling for Congress and state legislatures to pass stronger laws to help curb theft of catalytic converters, while supporting the legal recycling of these devices that are a renewable source of finite critical minerals. ISRI, as The Voice of the Recycled Materials Industry™ worked with law enforcement and other key stakeholder groups to identify potential legislative solutions that would deter the growing problem of catalytic converter thefts.

Key Points: 
  • "The recycled materials industry has a history of working with law enforcement and local authorities to help combat metals theft, including catalytic converters," said ISRI President Robin Wiener.
  • More than 30 million catalytic converters are legally recycled every year – mainly through the recycling of end-of-life automobiles.
  • Catalytic converters contain critical minerals the Department of Interior deems essential to America's national and economic security.
  • This would provide law enforcement information necessary to identify entities that would be allowed to legitimately purchase detached catalytic converters.
