Molybdenum Sputtering Target Scrap — Value and Recycling

Molybdenum sputtering targets are used in semiconductor manufacturing, flat panel display production, and solar cell fabrication. When targets reach their end of life (typically 20-40% material utilization), they become valuable scrap.

What Spent Moly Targets Are Worth

Spent molybdenum sputtering targets typically price at $18–$28/lb for the moly content, depending on purity (99.95%+ commands premium pricing) and whether backing plates are attached.

Bonded vs. Unbonded Targets

Unbonded targets: Pure moly without a backing plate — highest value, easiest to process.

Bonded targets: Moly bonded to copper, stainless, or aluminum backing plates — still valuable but requires separation. We handle all processing.
