Abstract
<abstract>
<p>The availability of REEs is limiting the successful deployment of some environmentally friendly and energy-efficient technologies. In 2019, the U.S. generated more than 15.25 billion pounds of e-waste. Only ~15% of it was handled, leaving ~13 billion pounds of e-waste as potential pollutants. Of the 15% collected, the lack of robust technology limited REE recovery for re-use. Key factors that drive the recycling of permanent magnets based on rare earth elements (REEs) and the results of our research on magnet recycling will be discussed, with emphasis on neodymium and samarium-based rare earth permanent magnets.</p>
