“Recycling rare earth elements is crucial for the United States, particularly in the context of wind generators, electronic waste (e-waste), and electric vehicles,” Nlebedim said. “It helps reduce the environmental damage caused by mining and processing, conserves finite resources, and supports...
Belgian companies want to play a role in the transition away from reliance on rare earth metals imports. Even if Europe is not well-suited for the extraction of these precious metals, it can play a role in reducing imports, notably through recycling. One factory in Liège is one of the ve...
Rare-earth recycling tends to use hazardous chemicals, such as hydrochloric acid. It also uses a lot of heat — and thus a lot of energy. And that effort may only recover a tiny amount of metal. A computer’s hard-disk ...
