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 electric vehicles to wind turbines. 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 (REEs) 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 and sustainable 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.

Our technology

Automotive Components

Rare earth magnets, particularly neodymium magnets, are essential in ​EV traction motors and hybrid transmissions , delivering high performance, efficiency, and extended driving range while reducing battery load. ​

Energy Infrastructure

REE magnets in wind turbines help convert kinetic wind energy into electricity more efficiently, enabling energy production even at lower wind speeds. Ultimately, this enhances the viability of wind as a renewable energy source.

Drones & Robotics

Rare earth magnets, particularly neodymium magnets, are essential in ​EV traction motors and hybrid transmissions , delivering high performance, efficiency, and extended driving range while reducing battery load. ​

Micromobility

Micro-mobility vehicles, such as e-bikes and e-scooters, rely on compact and efficient rare earth magnets within their electric motors to deliver reliable and sustainable urban transportation. These lightweight vehicles are essential for reducing emissions and congestion in cities. ​

Hard Disk Drives

REE magnets are vital in hard disc drive (HDD) actuators, ensuring fast and accurate data storage in servers and data centers worldwide. The ability to maintain a strong magnetic field is key to reading and writing data accurately and efficiently. ​

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.
