Dental Lab Scrap Recycling

CrownMen helps dental laboratories recover value from qualifying precious-metal-bearing scrap, including casting scrap, sweeps, grindings and filters from everyday laboratory work.

Laboratory Materials Worth Setting Aside

Laboratories accumulate residual material through routine production. CrownMen works with labs to collect, evaluate and refine qualifying scrap alongside precious-metal-bearing restorations:

  • Casting scrap, plates and sprues
  • Sweeps and grindings
  • Filters and floor/bench sweepings
  • Crowns and bridges
  • PFMs and PFGs
  • Other precious-metal-bearing material

CrownMen works with a few dental laboratories on an ongoing, recurring basis. Have material to discuss? Learn how to sell dental laboratory scrap.
