Orthometals is the global market leader in metal recycling special for crematoria. The company calls this crecycling.
Crecycling is more than a process. It is a belief, supported by generations of craftsmanship. It is as the art to transform metals into new value with precision, respect and meaning; the art of crecycling.
How Crecycling works and why it matters
Special containers are placed on-site, and Orthometals’ team visits regularly to weigh and collect the metals retrieved after cremation.
What follows is a meticulous journey: transportation to their sorting facility in the Netherlands, precise sorting and documentation according to the latest ISO standards.
Once the process is complete, every facility receives a clear overview of the metals sorted and their value. After deducting the processing fee, the net proceeds are transferred, simple, transparent, and trustworthy.
With sorting facilities in the Netherlands and the United States, Orthometals supports crematoria on six continents. Since 1997 one belief has guided their work: everything of value deserves care and respect.
