America Has a Rare Earth Problem

85%
China's share of global rare earth metal production.
00%
American companies recycling rare earths at scale.

To power America's future, we need rare earths.

We need rare earths for motors.
We need rare earths for defense.
We need rare earths for energy.

We need dominance. Not just independence.

And we start with recycling what we already have.

MAGNET TO METAL

There is no real circular economy in rare earths. 

Conventional recycling converts magnet scrap into an oversupplied intermediate that requires expensive processing in China.

Solcoa converts those same magnets directly into magnet-ready rare earth alloys. We skip several expensive and dirty steps in the value chain, actively producing tons of metal, priced below China.

Metal Extraction

Solcoa’s process requires only two unit operations compared to 6+ in conventional recycling. This process, which has already demonstrated the capacity of several tons in under a year, is the single fastest approach to at-scale American rare earth metal production.
