Rare Earth Metals Recycling Market The global rare earth metals recycling market size was valued at USD 248 million in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 422 million by 2026, growing at a cagr 11.2% from 2021 to 2026. The demand for these elements is likely to rise over the forecast peri...
What are rare earth metals? “Rare earths” is the name given to a group of 17 metals in the periodic table of elements. The name is slightly misleading because they are not actually rareper se; in fact, they are relatively abundant. Their rarity lies in the fact that they are ...
metals. Additionally, rare-earth metals are important alloying addition to steels. The commitment to clean energy technologies by governments and the projected growth in power and transportation sectors across the globe ensure that the demand for ...
Rare earth metals, commonly used in the production of high-tech goods, are desperately needed for the European economy. China has a monopoly on the supply of these metals, producing up to 97% of the world's supply. In July, China placed export restrictions on gallium and germanium metals,...
to eliminate them altogether. Magnets are what make electric motors work. According toengadget, Honda has co-developed a new hybrid motor with Daido Steel that doesn’t use heavy rare earth metals like dysprosium and terbium, instead relying on magnets from Daido Steel that cost and weigh...

Salmon semen has the benefit of being both cheap and green. Even better, experts say the discovery could be applied to recycling rare earth metals used in smart phones, computers and electronic circuits—metals that otherwise would end up in a landfill. ...
Hitachi was selected by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to participate in its project to promote recycling of resources, launched in fiscal 2009. The project's goal is to find technology for recycling rare earth metals from "urban mines," such as high-performance magnets from ...
