Rare Earth Recycling

Scientists at the University of Birmingham have found a new way to recycle rare earth metals. This breakthrough could have a huge implications for the tech industry.

Being able to recycle is greener, of course, and it would also secure a new source of essential materials outside the control of the Chinese government.

Traditional ways of recycling can be destructive. The problem with rare earth magnets is as soon as you start the magnet shatters and sticks to any metal it can find. The end result is that tiny chunks of rare earth metals are impossible to retrieve from the mess. (Source BBC).

Come and see us on both sides of the States.

We'll be getting off to a flying start in 2017 by exhibiting in Orlando, Florida at Magnetics 2017 18-19 January. Then we'll jet over to Anaheim, California for Pacific Design and Manufacturing 7-9 February in booth 3985.

You'll be able to discuss your magnetic assembly requirements with James Tyler (below, left), Niels Van Beek and other members of our expert team. Alongside our delicious Dutch Stroopwafels, we'll be dispensing attractive assembly answers. It'd be great to meet you.
