HyProMag has the solution via its patented Hydrogen Processing of Magnet Scrap (HPMS) technology The resulting recycled NdFeB can be fed back into multiple points of the supply chain including: o short-loop magnet manufacturing to produce magnets with a significantly reduced carbon footprint o long-loop chemical processing to produce rare earth carbonates and oxides Commercial production for UK and Germany in 2025, USA in H1 2027 Supported by the Minerals Security Partnership and aligned with the Critical Raw Materials Act Recycle
