Apple secures recycled rare-earth magnet supply in the US
MP Materials will supply the rare-earth magnets made from 100% recycled materials.
Apple and MP Materials have been piloting recycling technology for the past five years, so that recycled rare-earth magnets can be processed into material that meets Apple’s standards for performance and design.
Building on this technical collaboration, MP will construct a commercial-scale, dedicated recycling line at its Mountain Pass site in California, for processing a range of inputs, including magnet scrap and components recovered from end-of-life products.
The magnets will be produced at MP's Fort Worth, Texas, facility.
MP Materials will significantly expand the capacity of this magnetics facility. Magnet shipments are expected to begin in 2027 and ramp up to support hundreds of millions of Apple devices.
