Our reclaim services are available for most materials containing indium or gallium such as:
- ITO, IZO, IGZO, IWO sputtering targets
- InP crystals and wafers
- Ga2O3 and GaN crystals and wafers from bulk or epitaxial growth
- Spent targets
- Worn out/replaced cryogenic indium seals
- Indium-containing solder preforms and solder dross
- Indium-containing wire, bar, foil, ribbon, and powder
- Indium-containing alloys
- Indium/indium-tin material left-over from target bonding
- Gallium alloys and gallium chlorides
We provide some reclaim services for additional materials, such as tin, germanium, and other alloys/compounds – please contact us for the availability and pricing of these services.
How Our Reclaim and Recycle Program Works
Our Reclaim and Recycle program is simple and easy to work with. Here are the primary steps:
Assaying:
Customers send a scrap metal sample that contains indium or gallium to us for an internal test that assesses the metal content and the complexity of reclaiming the base metal.
Quotation:
We provide customers with a quote of the value of the material or offer a credit towards the purchase of new material (e.g., the recovered metal in ingot form or as an alloy).
Shipment:
Customers contact our team to arrange a pickup or shipment of their Reclaim/Recycle-approved material to our metals recycling facility.
Processing:
The materials undergo processing in our state-of-the-art recycling facility, ensuring safe and responsible handling.
Settlement:
The reclaimed metal is sent back to the customer or purchased by Indium Corporation as agreed during quotation.
