Cremation Recyling

Titanium & Prosthetic Implant Recycling

Contemporary Refining & Recycling Solutions has been a trusted recycler in the Deathcare Industry for nearly a decade. We provide a “One Stop Shop” for recycling services for crematoriums throughout North America.

With our full service refining capability, we are able to process ALL of the metals that survive cremation. Our single stream system allows our clients to conveniently place all of their metals into a complimentary container to be sorted by our highly-trained staff.

Dental Crown & Bridgework

In addition to the large and easily recognizable titanium medical implants found within the cremated remains, are these small and often overlooked dental crowns. Dental crowns are fabricated using an alloy of gold, silver, platinum and palladium precious metals and thus contain significant value when refined. Being an industrial refinery, Contemporary Refining & Recycling Solutions is your best bet when looking for a company to process your metals. By eliminating the middlemen, Contemporary Refining is able to guarantee the highest returns in the industry. All we ask for is one opportunity to earn your business and we promise you’ll never need to look for another company to process your materials again.

Our Process

Shipping & Receiving

Clients are provided secure shipping containers that hold approximately 60 to 80 pounds of recyclables. All metals can be placed into the same container for our staff to sort. We also cover the costs of FedEx Ground shipping for all of our clients.

Processing & Assay

After arriving at our secure processing facility, each lot or container is electronically checked into our computer system and assigned a unique lot number. The next step is sorting and processing. We utilize state of the art induction furnaces to fully homogenize the metals for the most accurate sampling. Utilizing a process known as ICP (Inductively coupled plasma), we are able to accurately identify precious metal content with an impressive 99.999% accuracy.

Final Settlement & Payment

After our refining process is complete (typically within 3-5 business days) we provide each client with a full breakdown of the recycling along with payment. Final payments can be used to help offset business expenses, purchase or maintain equipment, or support a local charity or organization of your choosing.
