About the Company

Cyclic Materials

Recovers and recycles rare earth elements

Cyclic Materials recovers and recycles rare earth elements from a range of products to create a circular supply chain for critical metals. The company’s process involves extracting and reintroducing these elements into the market so industries such as mobility, energy, and telecommunications can source metals without relying on new mining. The buyer-facing product is the supply of reclaimed rare earth elements that meet sustainable and ethical sourcing standards. What sets Cyclic Materials apart is its explicit focus on circularity and responsible sourcing—reducing waste and providing a domestic, ethical alternative to traditional mining—rather than relying on new ore extraction. The company aims to help the world move toward an environmentally responsible future by making sustainable, traceable metals available globally and supporting a cleaner, more sustainable metal supply chain.
