Cyclic Materials Opens Magnet Recycling Plant, Signs Supply Deals with Solvay & Vacuumschmelze 

Startup recycler Cyclic Materials is stepping out to commercial operation with the opening of its first-phase plant in Canada and two new supply chain deals – one with Solvay in Brussels and another with Vacuumschmelze of Germany who has a new magnet plant now under construction in the USA.
