DYSCOVERY MAGNETICS Builds the Backbone of Europe’s Electrification

Europe’s electrification depends on a fragile backbone: electric motors, permanent magnets and rare earth materials. Strengthening this backbone requires more than isolated recycling steps-it requires fully integrated industrial methods capable of returning critical materials back to industry.

End-of-life electric motors should no longer be treated as waste. They are rapidly becoming one of Europe’s most important secondary sources of critical raw materials – containing the permanent magnets and rare earth elements that underpin electrification, renewable energy and advanced manufacturing.

DYSCOVERY MAGNETICS is a spin-off of MONOLITHOS Recycling and Catalysts Ltd, drawing on extensive industrial and technological experience in advanced materials recovery and circular processing. The company marks the industrial deployment of a fully integrated method designed to transform EoL electric motors and permanent magnets into high-value, magnet-grade metals and alloys.

Its integrated industrial approach enables the direct conversion of complex EoL permanent magnet streams into refined materials suitable for immediate reintegration into magnet manufacturing and clean-technology applications, while following a near zero-waste philosophy.

From electric motors to magnet-grade materials

DYSCOVERY MAGNETICS develops a fully vertically integrated industrial method covering:

  • electric motor dismantling
  • permanent magnet recovery and preprocessing
  • advanced hydrometallurgical processing
  • production of high-purity, magnet-grade metals and alloys

The industrial entry of DYSCOVERY MAGNETICS is supported by a new agreement with a leading OEM car manufacturer, securing access to end-of-life electric motors from vehicles and industrial applications. The first electric motors have already entered our facilities, where they are prepared for controlled dismantling, component separation and targeted recovery as strategic industrial feedstock.

Our ambition is clear: to establish a European industrial source of permanent-magnet materials, supporting electrification, clean energy technologies and advanced manufacturing with sustainable, locally produced critical raw materials.
