Critical Materials Recycling has developed a proprietary process called Acid-Free Dissolution Recycling (ADR) to recover rare earth elements and critical metals from electronic waste and magnet manufacturing by-products.
Unlike traditional recycling methods that rely on aggressive acids or high-temperature metallurgical processes, ADR enables efficient recovery of valuable materials like neodymium and praseodymium while reducing environmental impact. The result is a more responsible way to extract critical resources from sources such as hard disk drives, magnet swarf, and industrial scrap streams.
Acid-Free Dissolution Recycling (ADR) is designed to efficiently separate and recover valuable rare earth elements while preserving the recyclability of other materials in the waste stream.
We receive feedstocks from electronics recyclers, manufacturers, and industrial partners, including end-of-life electronics and magnet manufacturing by-products.
Using our acid-free dissolution technology, rare earth elements are separated from magnet materials and electronic components without aggressive chemicals or high-temperature smelting.
Recovered elements are refined into high-purity rare-earth oxides, metals, and intermediates that can be reintroduced directly into industrial supply chains.
Our facilities process a wide range of rare-earth-containing materials, including:
Through the ADR process, recovered materials are transformed into:
Rare earth elements are essential to modern technologies, including:
