ITO scrap, or Indium Tin Oxide scrap, is a high-value material that arises from the electronics, display panel, and thin-film coating industries. With the global demand for indium on the rise—driven by LCD screens, touch panels, and photovoltaic cells—recycling ITO scrap has become not only a necessity for sustainability but also a profitable solution for manufacturers and industrial operations worldwide.
At J2 Metals, we specialize in purchasing and processing ITO-containing scrap from partners across the globe, helping companies recover value and reduce environmental impact.
Why Recycle ITO Scrap?
1. High Market Value of Indium
Indium is a rare and expensive element. Recovering indium from ITO scrap can provide substantial financial returns. Recycling can often offset production costs, especially in industries generating recurring ITO waste from sputtering targets, glass, or thin-film processes.
2. Environmental Responsibility
Mining and refining primary indium consumes energy and generates waste. By recycling ITO targets, ITO-coated glass, and other forms of indium scrap, you help reduce the demand for virgin material and support the global shift toward circular economy practices.
3. Global Market Demand
The ongoing expansion of the display, solar, and electronics sectors increases the demand for indium. By recycling, industries contribute to the availability of this strategic material without relying solely on limited primary sources.
Types of ITO Scrap We Buy
At J2 Metals, we are actively sourcing various forms of ITO scrap from industries and suppliers worldwide, including:
Used ITO sputtering targets
ITO-coated glass panels
Production waste from PVD processes
Powder residues or ITO dust
Expired or broken ITO panels from R&D or display applications
We analyze all materials to determine precise indium content and ensure a fair market-based valuation.
