Ionic Rare Earths Showcases First Western Recycled Supply Chain for EV Motor Magnets

Ionic Rare Earths Limited ( (AU:IXR) ) has provided an announcement.

Ionic Rare Earths, via its UK subsidiary Ionic Technologies, has led a collaboration with Less Common Metals, GKN and Ford UK to create what it calls the first fully recycled rare earth oxide supply chain in the Western world for electric motor magnets. Using its long-loop recycling process, Ionic Technologies produced high-purity neodymium, dysprosium and terbium oxides from end-of-life magnets and secondary materials, which were converted into alloy and magnets that met Ford’s specifications.

The recycled-magnet rotors successfully passed durability testing at Ford’s Dunton R&D facility, performing on par with conventional production magnets. This validation, delivered under the UK government-backed CLIMATES initiative, is described as a significant step toward a sovereign, secure and sustainable UK rare earth magnet supply chain, supporting the country’s critical minerals strategy and offering a medium-term European pathway to reduce reliance on foreign REE imports.
