Recycling end-of-life magnets is the only "domestic" source that depends on no mine, but it remains embryonic: collection is scattered and the re-separation chemistry is costly. Cyclic Materials supplies its recycled concentrates to Solvay La Rochelle, sketching out a closed Western loop, at a scale still symbolic against Chinese volumes.
