source:ET Auto.comLONDON: Europe is on a mission to wrest back control of its rare earth magnet supply chain from China.Permanent magnets, commonly using a neodymium-iron-boron chemistry, are one of the hidden enablers of modern technology, powering everything from robots to refrigerators to laptop speakers.They also help power electric vehicle (EV) and wind turbine motors, placing them at the heart of the energy transition.However, as the rest of the world has come to realise, these critical minerals are also critically dependent on China, which dominates the global supply chain from rare ear...

source:inceptive mindE-waste is the world’s fastest-growing domestic waste stream fueled mainly by higher consumption rates of electric and electronic equipment, short life cycles, and few options for repair. Much of it is handled unsafely, causing pollution, human health hazards, and the loss of valuable finite resources.It’s estimated that all those discarded electronic devices – such as mobile phones, laptops, printers – contain precious metals like copper, silver, and even gold, along with a wide range of valuable rare earth elements. These metals, which can be extracted, recycled, and reu...
