Neo-Cycle

The NEO-CYCLE project is demonstrating innovative methods to sustainably upcycle NdFeB magnets from hard disk drives, turning waste into catalysts for pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, polymers, and green ammonia. By combining advanced processes such as Solid-State Chlorination and electrochemical extraction with sustainability assessments and digital product passports, NEO-CYCLE strengthens Europe’s capacity to recycle rare earths and boron.

This initiative ensures a secure supply of critical raw materials while fostering a circular economy and supporting Europe’s strategic autonomy in green technologies.
