Bridging Circular Value Chains for Permanent Magnets: Key takeaways from SICAPERMA’s intense week in Brussels and beyond
The SICAPERMA project recently concluded an intense and highly productive series of activities in Brussels, filled with high-impact events focused on building resilient, circular, and strategically autonomous European value chains for rare earths and permanent magnets. From our internal consortium alignment to an open interregional networking event and high-level summits, these activities shifted the lens […]
At a critical moment for raw materials resilience, Europe’s permanent magnet crisis takes centre stage in Brussels.
As Europe accelerates action on critical raw materials, the EU-funded SICAPERMA project will convene its third consortium meeting in Brussels on 18 and 19 May. This gathering will bring together policymakers, industry representatives and European projects during a pivotal week for the sector, marked by the EIT RawMaterials Summit 2026. Brussels, May 2026 – A […]

Bridging circular value chains for permanent magnets: SICAPERMA event
SICAPERMA will host its inaugural project event, “Bridging Circular Value Chains for Permanent Magnets”, on 19 May 2029 in Brussels. The event will bring together European policymakers, industry leaders, researchers and EU-funded projects to strengthen collaboration on sustainable rare earth and permanent magnet value chains. Taking place immediately ahead of the EIT RawMaterials Summit (20–21 […]
Closing the loop: Manufacturing bonded magnets from 100% recycled NdFeB powder
Europe faces a critical challenge in securing its supply of rare earth elements, which are essential for permanent magnets used in everything from electric vehicles to wind turbines and consumer electronics. Currently, the continent relies heavily on imports, creating strategic vulnerabilities. The SICAPERMA project directly addresses this challenge by building a complete, circular European value […]

Magnet matters: Why recycling permanent magnets is crucial for our future
Permanent magnets are the silent workhorses of the clean-tech revolution. They are embedded in wind-turbine generators, electric-vehicle (EV) motors, pumps, robots, sensors and most household appliances. Europe’s demand for high-performance magnets is rising quickly, yet most of these components still depend on rare-earth elements such as neodymium and dysprosium. These materials are largely mined and […]

End-of-Life permanent magnet collection: Focus on HDD and loudspeaker sources recycled by MagREEsource
The SICAPERMA project aims to accelerate Europe’s transition toward a resilient and circular supply chain for permanent magnets by developing and industrializing advanced recycling technologies. By recovering Nd-Fe-B magnets from end-of-life devices and transforming them into high-performance sintered and bonded magnets, the project reduces Europe’s dependency on strategic imports. SICAPERMA enables the creation of a […]
