Recycle your end-of-life products with Cyclic Materials

Cyclic Materials partners with feedstock suppliers to reintegrate critical metals into the supply chain—reducing waste, strengthening a local resilient supply for industries, and promoting a circular economy.

Rethinking recycling for advanced technologies

Rare earth elements (REEs) are essential to modern technology, powering everything from hard disk drives, robotics, drones and automotive components. Yet, the industry remains heavily reliant on newly mined materials almost exclusively processed overseas, leading to environmental strain and supply chain vulnerabilities. Without effective recycling solutions, these critical materials are lost at the end of a product’s lifecycle, worsening resource scarcity and increasing costs for manufacturers.

At Cyclic Materials, we close the loop by extracting and refining rare earth elements from end-of-life products like e-scrap, magnetic waste, and industrial components, reducing dependence on newly mined resources and ensuring a local, resilient supply for key industries.

‍

By rethinking how materials are recovered and reintroduced into the supply chain, we’re helping manufacturers build a more resilient future. Our process ensures that valuable REEs don’t go to waste by offering a scalable, circular solution for industries that rely on them most.

What our partners are saying

Adding Cyclic Materials as a partner broadens the scope of our recycling activities in this field as we will now receive copper materials from electric motors, in addition to other metals we already recycle, such as battery materials. We see Cyclic Materials filling a critical gap in the market with their focus on rare earth recovery, a much-needed solution to further drive sustainability in critical materials.
