Silver Recycling

Silver Recycling, Refining & Recovery


Maratek Environmental is a leading Canadian recycling firm specializing in silver recovery, silver recycling and the refining of silver. We buy bulk scrap silver film in a variety of forms including medical x-ray and industrial X-ray scrap film containing silver.

No matter your industry, location or business size, we can create a silver recycling program to suit your needs. We develop and manufacture silver recycling solutions that will help improve productivity, meet stringent compliance legislation and save money.


Do not throw your silver film into the garbage or landfill as Silver from all kinds of film will leach out into the ground. Please check our list of silver film products that can be recycled. By recycling your silver film, you will be preventing silver from negatively affecting the environment while potentially gaining some financial compensation.

With more than 40 years of experience, we will help you get the most for your silver cartridges, flakes, waste, film and tailings. We consistently offer top prices for our customers in mining, pharmaceutical, food processing, health care, photofinishing, printing and commercial manufacturing facilities across North America.

We conduct film purging and pick-up services anywhere across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), throughout Ontario, and right across North America.
