COVID-19 impact on global rare earth metals recycling market
The COVID-19 pandemic has exhibited notable effect on various industries including automotive with the car manufacturers announcing a suspendion in production, which has now resumed on a global level. The market actors including, but not limited to Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers and other upstream entities were affected by this demand-side shock and as a result ramped down their production. Furthermore, the supply chain steps located in countries strongly impacted by the onset of the pandemic were hampered leading to a severe supply chain disruption. This resulted in a demand for the security of the supply of strategic raw materials needed for the long-term competitiveness across the globe. The European Green Deal targets 2050 climate neutrality and recognizes access to resources as a strategic security question to fulfill its ambition. The upgraded Industrial Strategy for Europe provides for the raw materials as key enablers for a globally competitive, green, and digital Europe. It also aims to accomplish a European competitiveness based on a new Alliance on Raw Materials and advertises for the importance of industrial ecosystems for accelerating innovation and growth in Europe. A more protective, sovereign, and inclusive economic model that is in line with the Green Deal has been put forward to be adoped by the recently launched Green Recovery Alliance. EIT RawMaterials, funded by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), which also aims to have a vision to develop raw materials into a major strength for Europe. It is said to be the world’s largest network in the raw materials sector, which is expected to connect industry, research, and education. This makes EIT RawMaterials a key contributor to secure sustainable access and supply of raw materials for a green, digital, and competitive Europe.
The coronavirus outbreak in China has resulted in a damage laden prospect for the industry. Truck drivers refused to make deliveries into the locations that were either identified as or suspected of harboring the disease. This resulted in a disruption in the flow of minerals out of the affected areas and also led to the refining and manufacturing of metals, food, and fuel.
Rare earth-enabled components for moving machinery, such as automobiles, trucks, trains, aircraft, industrial motors and generators, home appliances, and consumer goods are procured from China or Japan. These items are unable to be re-sourced due to China’s monopoly of rare-earth metals production and its monopsony of rare earth-enabled component manufacturing.
Rare Earth Metals Recycling Market Dynamics
Driver: Increasing demand for clean energy
The green energy market is exhibiting a notable boost as new legislation are passed by different regulatory bodies across the world. These legislations are banning the use of conventional materials in industries in a bid to attain sustainability, and they require the use of green technologies, such as wind turbines, hybrid electric vehicles, and compact fluorescent lighting. Wind turbines have begun the use of direct drive permanent magnets, wherein the use of rare earth metals, such as europium, neodymium, dysprosium, praseodymium, and, terbium, is extensive. The increasing demand for environmental protection results in the development of clean energy sources, for instance, wind energy. The wind turbines and water turbine markets offer another growth opportunity for permanent magnets. Direct-drive (DD) generators for wind turbines use about 650 kg of permanent magnets per megawatt (MW) of power output. The chart mentioned below shows the installation of wind power systems in the past 16 years. This provides for the usage of permanent magnets relatively economical and helps indiustries to become responsible evironmentally, thereby making the technology sustainable. All these growing sectors that have significant usage of permanent magnets offer a huge impetus for the growth of this market.
Restraint: Fluctuating costs of rare earth metals
The global recession of 2008-09 had several negative implications on a number of markets, and the rare earth metals market was not an exception. Rare earth metal prices increased suddenly in 2011 after China introduced a 40% cut on its export quotas, citing environmental reasons. The cost of dysprosium oxide, used in magnets, lasers, and nuclear reactors, rose to about USD 1,470 a kilogram from USD 700 to USD 740, buoyed by demand and concerns over future availability. These fluctuations in prices coupled with rising energy costs are destabilizing the supply chains of rare earth elements. This factor makes it difficult for manufacturers to deliver quality products at a profit.
Spurred by the fluctuations in the prices of the raw materials, the manufacturers have the option of either absorbing the additional costs or increase the prices of the products. Price fluctuations leave no room for error whilst planning a project’s budget and have quite a few manufacturers walking a thin line between success and operating at a loss.
When the price of raw materials rises suddenly, some manufacturers search for new suppliers that allow them to maintain revenue targets. This results in sourcing materials from lower-cost economies. Switching to a different source of raw materials carries a high risk of disrupting the supply chain. Rare earth elements are not traded in any commodity exchanges in the way other precious or nonferrous metals are. However, they are sold in the private market, which makes their prices tricky to track and monitor. The elements are not usually sold in their pure form, but distributed in mixtures of varying purity, for example, 99% neodymium metal. In any case, pricing can vary based on the quantity and quality required by the end-use applications.
Opportunity: Recycling of rare earth metals leads to steady material sourcing
Production of many minerals that are vital for energy transitions is concentrated in a few geographical areas. For instance, the top three rare earth metals producers dominate more than half of the global production. China holds a significant position in the rare earth value chain where it is responsible for more than 70% of the processing operations associated with rare earth metal mining. This has resulted in concern for companies that manufacture solar panels, batteries, and wind turbines, amongst others, as this can affect their supply chains due to trade barriers, regulatory changes, and political instability. In addition, the current extraction practices of rare earth metals are inefficient, unsafe, and generate pollution. Rare earth metal processing requires a substantial amount of harmful chemicals and results in the production of high volumes of solid waste and wastewater, which are sometimes handled inappropriately. This leads to challenges in the stable sourcing of minerals impacting the social and environmental concerns
Recycling provides an opportunity to maintain the steady sourcing of rare earth metals. For this, it is important that the importing countries strengthen the management of products and components which have reached the end of life. This would promote recycling and retrieval of valuable minerals. Research and development efforts by research institutions would result in large-scale recycling of rare earth metals and would generate environmental and security benefits along with a reduction in dependency on foreign countries for material sourcing.
Challenge: Safety of workers in rare earth metals recycling process
Recycling of rare earth metals is considered to solve the balance problem of supply and demand for rare earth metals. However, caution is required for rare earth metals recycling process due to hazardous chemicals which should be treated properly. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) classified hazardous substance emissions in the rare earth metals recycling into three categories. The first is primary, where the emissions include lead, mercury, arsenic, polychlorinated biphenyls, sulfides, and ozone-depleting substances which are obtained from electronic waste. The secondary emission includes dioxins and furans, amongst others, which are generated from reactions due to inappropriate treatment of plastics. The tertiary emissions include harmful substances and reagents such as cyanide and leaching agents that are exposed due to inappropriate management. This is becoming a challenge in developing countries where inappropriate recycling systems are prevalent. Thus, it is vital to have a verified monitoring system for the recycling of rare earth metals to eradicate the potential threat to humans and the environment. To ensure safety in the workplace, it is necessary to have appropriate protective gear, management of hazardous substances, and regular safety education.
“Permanent Magnets segment to be the fastest growing segment in terms of value during the forecast period”
The permanent magnets industry is the largest end user of rare earth elements. The magnets made from neodymium, praseodymium, and dysprosium are the strongest known permanent magnets. The automotive industry is one of the key consumers of the permanent magnets. Key industries requiring these permanent magnets are hybrid car engines and the growing wind power turbine industry. There may also be needed in regular power plants.
“Pyrometallurgical technology segment was the second-largest market in 2020.”
Pyrometallurgical process is able to separate and recover almost 99% of rare earth metals from waste NiMH batteries and NdFeB (neodymium magnet) scraps. Experimental results also show that rare earth metals obtained from the high-temperature treatment can reach purity of 96 weight percent. The current use of pyrometallurgical methods to recover rare earth metals from these materials is being analyzed, with the focus being on waste products such as high-coercivity magnets and nickel-metal-hydride batteries.
“Magnets to be the fastest growing source of rare earth metals during the forecast period.”
Rare earth metals are crucial for ‘green’ technology applications, and the demand is growing. Their main use is in permanent magnets made from an alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron (NdFeB) for highly efficient motors for hybrid-electric vehicles and wind turbine generators. Currently, rare earths can be extracted from their original electronic sources, but some, such as magnets, cannot be reused in the same way. One common method for recycling rare earths is acid dissolution to recover the materials as oxides.
The most common rare earth magnets are based on neodymium-iron-boron with small additives of Pr (Praseodymium), Tb (Terbium), and especially Dy (Dysprosium).
“APAC is the largest market for rare earth metals recycling”
Asia Pacific is the highest producer, and China is the most dominant country in the production of rare earth metals, with over 95% of the global output of rare earth minerals. The increasing alliances among industry players coupled with leading innovations and developments are further expected to foster rare earth metals recycling in the APAC region.
