*Forecast as of May 2025. Recycling figures represent estimates of the quantity of metal recovered from open loop recycling from the jewelry, automotive, and electronics sectors (i.e. where the original purchaser does not retain control of the metal throughout). For instance, automotive recycling represents the weight of metal recovered from end of life vehicles and aftermarket scrap in an individual region, allocated to where the car is scrapped rather than where the metal is finally recovered. These figures do not include warranty or production scrap. Where no recycling figures are given, open loop recycling is negligible. This statistic was assembled using several editions of the report.
In 2025, it is expected that about *** million ounces of platinum will be recycled from the automotive sector worldwide. In comparison, * ounces of platinum is expected to be recycled from the electronics industry, and ** ounces of platinum is expected to be recycled from jewelry in that same year.
