  "summary": "Cyclic Materials has opened its first commercial-scale rare earth magnet recycling facility in Mesa, Arizona, marking a significant step towards reducing the United States' reliance on foreign sources of critical minerals. The 144,000-square-foot facility has the capacity to process up to 25,000 metric tonnes of magnet-bearing end-of-life products annually, making it the largest rare earth magnet recycling plant of its kind. Utilizing its proprietary MagCycle technology, the plant mechanically separates permanent magnets from end-of-life products, forming the foundation of Cyclic Materials' integrated rare earth recovery platform. The plant is already processing material at a rate of eight tonnes per hour and has delivered over 7,000 metric tonnes of recovered products to US smelters, with more shipments expected later in the month.",
