From waste signal to verified product

A qualitative pathway clarifies where each organisation sits; it is not a mass-balance claim.

Where do retired data-center hard-drive magnets go?

HDD collection, magnet separation and recovered rare-earth oxide have different material bases. Explore the 2026 WD study, the ERI–Cyclic route and the new mobile HyProMag programme.

Interpret carefully: 48 qualified nodes include pilots, planned projects and circular manufacturing. They do not represent 48 operating recycling plants. Capacity is compared only within a matching material and phase; it is never summed into an implied market throughput.

Why this is more than a search result

Entity resolutionProjects, operators, locations and successor announcements share stable IDs.
Typed claimsNameplate, design target, device count, batch size and actual throughput never become one number.
Evidence historyEvery approved assertion carries a source, date, confidence and review trail.

Rare-earth recycling intelligence: scope and limits

What does REE Monitor track?

Public evidence on rare-earth recycling services, concrete projects and concentrated material-return signals in Europe and the United States. Each facility, program or asset is stored as a separate profile.

How are profiles selected?

We require a named circular-magnet role, primary evidence, explicit status and a decision-useful question. Public offers, process projects, controlled programmes and long-term assets are separate. Missing annual tonnage does not block a contact entry; it blocks a quantity claim.

Does a Material Return Asset mean material is available?

No. It is an evidence-ranked sourcing signal. Availability, ownership, magnet type, timing and routing must still be verified before a commercial sourcing decision.

Data transparency: research reviewed ; latest evidence event . Evidence methodology.

Invited users receive 48 qualified facility/project nodes, seven public offers, 26 material routes, 16 return programmes and eight long-term wind assets, with interactive maps, technical evidence gaps, dated source checks and exports.
