Description
Description | The HARMONY project is an EU-funded initiative aimed at improving the recyclability of rare Earth neodymium-iron-boron permanent magnets from end-of-life products such as wind turbines, electric motors, and other waste electrical and electronic equipment. It involves 21 partners from industry and universities across Europe developing a closed-loop recycling process including collection, dismantling, recovery, production of recycled magnet powder, and manufacturing of new magnets. Full-scale manufacturing is planned for 2028 to reduce Europe's dependence on imported rare Earths. |
