According to Indium Corporation, its germanium reclaim and recycle program enables customers to increase their return on materials by providing credit for diverting spent germanium from the waste stream. Germanium, used in things like the production of fiber optic cables, optical lenses and wafers, and catalysts in polyethylene (plastic) production, is typically not completely consumed during the process.

The remaining germanium can be reclaimed and recycled, enhancing process efficiency and providing a financial return. Indium Corporation also offers reclaim and recycle programs for indium and indium alloys, solder pot dross and contaminated solder, and indium tin oxide (ITO) and indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) from sputtering targets.
