As lab manager at Panhandle Converter Recycling my focus is on assessing to the best of our ability the true value of each catalytic converter we purchase ensuring that our vendors are getting paid fairly for their units every time.To achieve this goal we use time tested processing and sampling techniques along with our own revolutionary equipment developed by our engineering department to generate the most representative sample possible. Your data is only as good as your sample and in the lab and engineering departments sample generation and preparation is our passion. We are continually researching ways to improve our methods, refine our processes and reduce bias in any direction. High or low. In other words: it keeps us up at night.Ultimately I want to help contribute and encourage a new standard in the catalytic converter recycling industry. A standard that is driven by transparency, ethics and morality. Not money. I and everyone else at Panhandle Converter Recycling are more concerned with doing the right thing. Not necessarily the thing that will make us the most money.
