Recycled Permanent Magnets

NdFeB magnets manufactured in the UK from recycled content

HyProMag's aim is to develop a full recycling supply chain for rare earth magnets based upon Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB). HyProMag has licensed the patented technology called HPMS (Hydrogen Processing of Magnet Scrap) developed in the Magnetic Materials Group (MMG) at the University of Birmingham. This patent and related Intellectual Property is at the core of what HyProMag do. HPMS is a hydrogen based process which is used to extract NdFeB magnets from electrical products, such as hard disk drives. The extracted NdFeB powder is in the form of an alloy which can be re-processed into different forms which can be sold back into the supply chain for rare earth magnets.
