Europe and the United States in one view

See where rare-earth recycling activity meets controlled material-return programs and model-supported wind assets. Precise labels, filters, acceptance conditions and evidence records are reserved for the protected workspace.

Evidence map29 facility/project points, four controlled-programme points and eight long-term wind assets. Unlocated records remain in the workspace tables.
Material routes · source-backed relationships

Who accepts the material — and what still needs to be agreed?

Compare public collection and purchase offers with named source-to-processor relationships. Contractual binding, physical status and annual magnet mass remain separate.

From waste signal to verified product

A qualitative pathway clarifies where each organisation sits; it is not a mass-balance claim.

New research note · 27 September 2026

Where do retired data-center hard-drive magnets go?

Compare a demonstrated Western Digital–Microsoft return pilot with the ERI–Cyclic collection partnership. The public sources show different stages, and neither discloses annual recovered-magnet output.

Interpret carefully: 37 nodes do not mean 34 operating recycling plants. Active profiles include source-supported recycling, processing and project roles. Generic recyclers, unqualified wind records and adjacent metallurgy references are held outside active counts. Capacity claims retain their material, stage and time basis and are never summed into a market throughput total.

Why this is more than a search result

Entity resolutionProjects, operators, locations and successor announcements share stable IDs.
Typed claimsNameplate, design target, device count, batch size and actual throughput never become one number.
Evidence historyEvery approved assertion carries a source, date, confidence and review trail.

Rare-earth recycling intelligence: scope and limits

What does REE Monitor track?

Public evidence on rare-earth recycling services, concrete projects and concentrated material-return signals in Europe and the United States. Each facility, program or asset is stored as a separate profile.

How are profiles selected?

We require a named circular-magnet role, primary evidence, explicit status and a decision-useful question. Public offers, process projects, controlled programmes and long-term assets are separate. Missing annual tonnage does not block a contact entry; it blocks a quantity claim.

Does a Material Return Asset mean material is available?

No. It is an evidence-ranked sourcing signal. Availability, ownership, magnet type, timing and routing must still be verified before a commercial sourcing decision.
