Sustainability – Missed ESG goals when valuable materials are discarded.
Profitability – Thousands in recoverable metals lost each quarter.
Goodwill – Customers and employees expect environmental responsibility.
Introducing The Reclaim & Recycle Program
The Reclaim & Recycle Program from Indium Corporation® gives manufacturers a practical way to recover high- purity metals—like indium, gallium, and germanium from their post-process scrap.
You send it. We process it. You get the credit—or the material back.
It’s that simple.
Built For Your Industry
Display Manufacturing
Reclaim value from used ITO (containing indium) and IGZO (containing indium and gallium) sputtering targets.
Compound Semiconductors
Recover indium and gallium from InP, GaN, GaAs wafer scraps and crystal caps.
Lens Manufacturing
Reclaim low-melt-point indium-based alloys used in precision optical lens blocking.
Solder Scrap
Recover solder preforms, dross, and other byproducts from electronics production. If your process leaves behind metal, we’ll help you recover it.
Here’s How It Works
Three simple steps to recover value from your scrap
Step 1
Send us your post-process scrap.
ITO targets. InP wafers. Indium alloy trimmings. Any material that contains indium and gallium.
Step 2
Our engineers extract high-purity metals using proven methods.
Step 3
You get the value.
Choose credit or recovered materials back.
Don’t let it go to Waste
Secure your Bismuth supply today and keep your production on track.
Let’s reclaim it.
No obligation. Fast turnaround. Full traceability.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of materials can be reclaimed through this program?
Indium Corporation’s Reclaim & Recycle program accepts a wide range of materials containing indium and gallium, including sputtering targets (ITO, IZO, IGZO, IWO), InP and GaN/Ga₂O₃/GaAs wafers and crystals, spent targets, cryogenic indium seals, indium-bearing solder products, and various indium or gallium alloys and compounds. It also accepts solder and solder dross from tin-lead or lead-free alloys containing tin, silver, and copper, as well as unopened solder paste jars; materials with additional metals like bismuth, zinc, or cadmium may also be accepted with evaluation. Some materials containing germanium, or other alloys may be reclaimable depending on feasibility.
How do I submit my scrap for evaluation?
To submit scrap for evaluation through Indium Corporation’s Reclaim & Recycle program, simply email the team at [email protected] with a description of the material you have—specify the type of scrap, approximate quantity, form, and any known contaminants.
If your material is eligible, the company will ask you to send a sample for assay to determine metal content and reclaim complexity. Following evaluation, you’ll receive a quote for your material, after which you can ship the approved scrap to our facility for processing.
How long does the reclaim process take?
Once the scrap sample reaches the Indium Corporation, we send within 5 business days, a Purchase and Assay Report to you.
Following the shipment of scrap to be processed for the reclaim, the time taken for the actual reclaim process depends mainly on the quantity and complexity that will be given to you after assaying.
What do I get in return—cash, material, or credit?
After the scrap is accepted it’s upon you to choose from. You can receive the reclaimed metal; can have Indium Corporation purchase the reclaimed metal from you with a financial return; can have the value of the reclaimed metal applied towards future purchases from Indium corporation. In upgrade services, you get the upgraded material.
How do I know the recovered material meets my specs?
Indium Corporation does the assaying and elemental analysis in-house with ICP-OES. The initial elemental analysis result in the assaying step is shared with you. If you want to take the reclaimed metal back after processing, we provide you with elemental analysis of the reclaimed metal that would show the impurity levels as good as the 99.99% virgin raw metal or meet your spec requirement discussed before.
