Converting recycled rare earth oxides into rare earth metals
Cyclic Materials will add metallization to its rare earth recovery platform, transforming rare earth oxides into the metallic form required for downstream alloy and permanent magnet manufacturing.
The metals behind the world’s most advanced magnets
Neodymium-Praseodymium metal
NdPr oxide will be converted into NdPr metal through molten-salt electrolysis. NdPr metal is a primary input in the production of neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnet alloys used to manufacture high-performance permanent magnets for advanced technologies.
Terbium & Dysprosium metal
Terbium oxide and Dysprosium oxide will be converted into their corresponding metals using thermal reduction. These metals are used in selected high-coercivity and high-temperature grades of NdFeB permanent magnets, helping them resist demagnetization under demanding operating conditions.

Building on proven technologies
Integrating metallization technologies to Cyclic Materials' rare earth recovery platform will build a reliable, traceable pathway from recycled permanent magnets to rare earth metals. Adding oxide-to-metal conversion will establish a secure value chain to build a circular pathway for magnet-derived rare earths.
Our planned metallization capabilities will:
● Connect metallization directly with upstream magnet recycling and rare earth recovery
● Align metal specifications with customer requirements
● Enable end-to-end traceability from recycled magnet material to rare earth metals
● Improve efficiency across the integrated recovery platform

Bringing recovered rare earths back into manufacturing
Metallization bridges the gap between rare earth separation and permanent magnet manufacturing. Adding this capability to Cyclic Materials' portfolio will create a more complete regional pathway from end-of-life products and magnet manufacturing scrap to rare earth metal production.
This supports new sources of recycled critical materials for commercial customers and strengthens domestic and allied rare earth processing capacity.
previous step
Turning recycled magnets into rare earth supply
Mag-Xtract™ and other magnet production waste are refined and separated into rare earths for downstream metal, alloy and permanent magnet manufacturing.
FIRST step
Recovering rare earth magnets from end-of-life products
Cyclic Materials uses its proprietary MagCycle® technology to process end-of-life products and recover rare earths, copper, aluminum, and clean ferrous metals.
