Eco Cat

Eco Cat, developed by Ecotrade Group, empowers users to instantly evaluate scrap catalytic converters through its industry-leading pricing database. This professional tool simplifies recycling for mechanics, scrap dealers, and automotive businesses by offering up-to-date market values, verified via X-ray fluorescence (XRF) testing. With Eco Cat, users search via brand or manufacturer to access real-time pricing, updated three times daily, ensuring transparency in transactions. Its appraisal tools level the negotiation field, helping sellers avoid undervaluation. Whether selling locally or globally, Eco Cat streamlines recycling workflows while prioritizing accuracy.  

Comprehensive Catalytic Converter Catalog with Visual Search  

Eco Cat’s database features over 20,000 catalytic converters, categorized by vehicle brand or manufacturer. Users select their converter type, compare it with high-resolution images, and instantly view its current market value. This visual guide reduces misidentification risks, enabling precise valuations. Mechanics and recyclers leverage this catalog to cross-reference part numbers or physical attributes, ensuring they price scrap correctly before selling.  

Daily Price Updates Aligned with Market Fluctuations  

Eco Cat adjusts pricing three times daily to mirror shifts in precious metal markets like platinum, palladium, and rhodium. Users access live rates through the app’s dashboard, allowing them to time sales for optimal profit. For frequent recyclers, Eco Cat’s notifications alert them to significant price hikes, ensuring no opportunity is missed.  

X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Testing Integration for Accuracy  

Eco Cat partners with laboratories using XRF technology to measure precious metal content in converters. Users submit scrap for analysis via the app, receiving a detailed report within 48 hours. This scientific approach replaces guesswork with data-backed valuations, critical for high-volume sellers aiming to maximize returns.  

On-Demand Appraisals by Industry Experts  

Eco Cat offers in-person assessments for users preferring hands-on verification. Qualified buyers visit locations worldwide, sort converters, and provide appraisals using Eco Cat’s live pricing. Sellers review offers directly in the app, compare them against global averages, and accept or negotiate terms securely.  

Global Selling Network for Scrap Catalytic Converters  

Eco Cat connects users with Ecotrade Group’s international buyers. After valuation, sellers ship scrap to designated hubs or schedule pickups. The app tracks shipments and processes payments electronically, minimizing delays. This feature eliminates regional pricing disparities, letting users tap into broader markets effortlessly.  

Transparent Negotiations to Empower Sellers  

Historically, sellers lacked leverage in converter transactions. Eco Cat disrupts this imbalance by sharing real-time data, equipping users to counter lowball offers confidently. Recyclers use the app’s historical pricing charts to demonstrate fair market rates, turning negotiations into collaborative rather than adversarial interactions.
