ERI, Cyclic Materials partner to recover and recycle rare earths from e-waste

The trace

How it reaches your house.

Starting from Rare-earth elements (NdPr), we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.

1. First impact

   Rare-earth elements (NdPr) →supply up

   Rare earth magnets

   NdPr is a critical input to rare earth magnets, so a new recycled NdPr supply stream should modestly improve magnet feedstock availability.

   88% confidence

   Rare Earth Oxides (Nd, Pr, Dy, Tb) →supply up

   Home appliances

   Rare earth oxides are a critical input to home appliances, so the added recycled supply should ease input constraints and improve availability.

   83% confidence

   Neo Performance Materials →supply up

   Neodymium-Praseodymium (NdPr) Oxide/Metal

   The new recycled rare-earth stream directly increases availability of Neo's NdPr oxide/metal input, though the 5% market share suggests a moderate rather than dominant impact.

2. Hop 2

   Home appliances →supply up

   Rare Earth Oxides (Nd, Pr, Dy, Tb)

   The recycling partnership directly adds new supply of rare earth oxides, and this is a critical high-dependency input to home appliances.

   93% confidence

   Rare earth magnets →supply up

   Rare-earth elements (NdPr)

   Recycled rare-earth feedstock from e-waste increases NdPr availability, easing a critical input for rare earth magnet production.

   84% confidence

   Neodymium-Praseodymium (NdPr) Oxide/Metal →supply up
