Heraeus Remloy
Your partner for recycling rare earth magnets

Sustainable magnetic materials from Europe for the highest requirements

Energy transition, electromobility, digitalisation - rare earth magnets made from neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) are the key to overcoming global challenges. With the largest recycling plant for these magnets in Europe, Heraeus Remloy is laying the foundations for European self-sufficiency in sustainably produced magnetic material.

The challenges of using neodymium-iron-boron magnets

  • Indispensable for future technologies: rare earth magnets are the basis for megatrends such as the energy transition, e-mobility and digitalisation
  • High dependence on imports: Almost 100 per cent of current demand is covered by imports. The majority of this comes from China.
  • Sharp rise in demand: European demand will exceed supply in 2026 and will double by 2030.
  • High impact on people and the environment: 2,300 litres of water are required to mine and process one kilo of rare earth oxide. In addition, up to 2,000 tonnes of toxic waste are produced per tonne of rare earth material.

The advantages for your company when working with Remloy

  • Security of supply: Independent and secure supply of magnetic materials
  • Top performance: Comparable magnetic properties to conventionally produced quality magnets
  • Sustainability: 80 per cent less energy consumption and CO² pollution. No use of chemicals or other environmentally harmful substances.
  • Process optimisation: Less logistical effort thanks to supply chains within Europe
