Challenges of rare earths magnet collection and recycling in e-waste: SICAPERMA project
The SICAPERMA project aims to fast-track Europe’s shift toward a resilient and circular supply chain for permanent magnets by developing and scaling up advanced recycling technologies. By extracting NdFeB magnets from end-of-life equipment and converting them into high-performance sintered and bonded magnets, the project helps reduce Europe’s reliance on strategic imports. SICAPERMA is building a complete pan-European value chain that connects dismantling, recycled-magnet production, and industrial deployment. Its pilot lines will demonstrate both the technical and economic feasibility of recycled magnets for a wide range of strategic applications.
Drawing on five years of experience in collecting permanent-magnet waste and transforming NdFeB magnets into new sintered magnets, MagREEsource will present the collection and extraction challenges encountered in the SICAPERMA project, as well as how a resilient, low-carbon, short-loop recycling process has rapidly reached industrial maturity.
