Overview
Everything a new buyer needs to know about catalytic converters — from recognising ceramic vs metallic monoliths to reading part codes and negotiating fair prices. Built on Stratton Recycling's years of hands-on experience in the South African recycling market, this course gives you the same knowledge our team uses every single day.
We believe that an informed supplier is a long-term partner. When you understand what your converters are actually worth, everybody wins — you get a fair price, and we build a relationship built on trust rather than guesswork. That's why we're sharing our playbook openly.
