Pilot Action for Securing a Sustainable European Next Generation of Efficient RE-free magnets

Sustainable Recovery, Reprocessing and Reuse of Rare-Earth Magnets in a Circular Economy

Research Project “RIciclo SOstenibile di magneti di terre rare da Raee per Sistemi elettromagnetici ad Alta Efficienza" - RISORSA funded by the Ministry of Ecological Transition call 2020 (Italy). the project is coordinated by National Interuniversity Consortium of Materials Science and Technology and aims at developing novel procedure for recycling permanet magnets from hard disks. Coordinator: Prof. Andrea Caneschi (e-mail: andrea.caneschi@unifi.it)

Ustainable EuroPean Rare Earth Elements production value chain from priMary Ores (SUPREEMO) aims to establish the first pre-commercial Rare Earth Elements (REEs) production value chain (TRL7) using European (EU) primary resources as feedstock, developing sustainable, cost-competitive processing, refining and Rare Earth (RE) Permanent Magnet (PM) production technologies in a responsible way complying with local and international safety regulations.

SUPRREMO started 1st January 2024 and it will take along 4 years and it is supported in the framework of the topic HORIZON-CL4-2023-RESILIENCE-01-03 - Technologies for processing and refining of critical raw materials (IA) with a contribution of around 6 M€. It is composed by 11 partners of 9 different countries and coordinated by SINTEF AS (Norway).
