The case for recycling end-of-life materials

Rare earth elements (REEs) are essential to modern technology, but traditional mining is resource-intensive and environmentally costly. Today, less than 1% of REEs are recycled, meaning critical materials are lost at the end of a product’s lifecycle. By recovering REEs from end-of-life products, we can drastically reduce water use, lower carbon emissions, and build a more resilient supply chain. In fact, recycling rare earths requires up to 61.2% less CO₂ emissions compared to mining. By closing the loop, we can secure the materials we need—without compromising the planet.

The Cyclic process:
from waste to resource

Our approach

Feedstock Sourcing

Our solution is feedstock agnostic; we recover REE from EV drive motors, hybrid transmissions, wind turbine generators, hard disc drives, MRI machines, and more.

Delivery to Cyclic Materials

End-of-life components arrive at our advanced processing facilities.

Processing & Refinement

Our proprietary MagCycleSM and REEPureSM technologies recover critical minerals with minimal environmental impact.

Recycled Products

High-quality recycled Mixed Rare Earth Oxide (rMREO), aluminum, copper, nickel, cobalt, Mixed Hydroxide Precipitate (MHP) and clean ferrous materials are produced.

Supply Chain Reintegration

These materials are supplied to magnet manufacturers and other industries, ensuring a closed-loop system. Our partnership with Circulor enables us to provide industry-leading Digital Product Passports, ensuring full traceability and compliance.

Providing recycling solutions for key industries and powering innovation by reclaiming the materials that drive modern technology.

On its mission to secure access to a local, resilient supply chain, Cyclic Materials gives essential materials a second life—reducing supply chain risks and the need for new mining. From e-scrap and magnetic waste to high-performance components, our process keeps rare earth elements in circulation, ensuring industries have the resources they need without the environmental cost.
