Circular Economy: A Boost to Secondary REE Supply in the Next Three Decades

As our planet grapples with a rapidly evolving climate crisis, the significance of rare earth elements (REEs) in driving the transition towards a more sustainable future cannot be underestimated. A recent study has shed light on the pivotal role of circular economy strategies in increasing the global supply of REEs and reshaping the supply chains in the upcoming three decades. This framework aims to map the REE flows from in-ground to in-use stocks for global just transition. a, The roles of different circular economy strategies in the shift of in-ground minerals to in-use stocks. b, How the transition of REEs
