Response to silver recovery

There are several ways of recovering silver. For smaller amounts of fixer a chemical recovery seems the only way that makes sense. For an amateuer it really does not make sense, since the amounts simply do not justify the costs. In most European countries though all professional users are mandated by law to recover silver before dumping fixer. A chemical product widely used for silver recovery in Europe is Tetenal's Exargent. You will get a black silver rich paste which can be sold for further treatment.
