Sibanye-Stillwater Reldan's experience processing industrial and electronic scrap contributes to the larger group’s resource stewardship through secondary mining and recycling, with the group providing significant financial support and an extensive global presence for Sibanye-Stillwater Reldan, according to a news release about the integration.
