Congratulations to our own Rishabh Chopra, named one of Kingston's Top 40 Under 40! Rishabh was nominated for this award in recognition of his work and contributions to the Kingston cleantech space, including his contributions to both Cyclic Materials and Li-Cycle!

Well done Rishabh!

Our CEO Ahmad Ghahreman will be speaking at the 2023 Fifth Wall Climate Summit on Monday as part of a panel entitled: "Pioneering Climate Technology For A Circular Economy," speaking alongside the CEOs of other Fifth Wall portfolio companies SOURCE, RoadRunner, and SolarCycle.

The summit unites core strategic limited partners; key climate portfolio companies; thought leaders in the energy sector; and core policymakers to discuss the path towards reducing the real estate industry's carbon footprint to achieve net-zero by 2050.

👋 Meet the Kingston team!

These fine folks are central to our mission to help the world transition to an environmentally responsible future by recovering rare earth elements from the difficult-to-recycle products of the modern world. Across a spectrum ranging from metallurgy and process engineering to intricate business planning, each team member is engaged in the ongoing creation of a sustainable life cycle for rare earth elements.

🙋We recycle rare earth elements from rare earth magnets inside certain electronics. What are rare earth magnets, and how do they work?

➡️ Rare-earth magnets are the strongest type of permanent magnets made today, and they are made from, in part, rare earth elements.

The two most common types of rare earth magnets are Neodymium and Samarium Cobalt, and they have some different uses - a Neodymium magnet might be found in a microphone or a direct current motor, while Samarium Cobalt magnet can be used in aerospace and defense systems.

As for how they work: like any other magnet! Howstuffworks has this great primer on magnetism.

We're privileged to have a number of skilled and knowledgeable industry professionals on our Cyclic Materials Advisory Board, and this week we're welcoming a new member!

Adam Shine has worked in the recycling industry for over 15 years and grew up around it as he represents the fourth generation as the President at Manitoba Corporation, a non-ferrous metal recycling facility. In addition to Manitoba, Adam is the President of a sister company, Sunnking, which focuses on IT Asset Disposition and Electronics recycling.

How can Canada bring together the rare earth elements supply chain? Our CEO, Ahmad Ghahreman, recently talked on this topic at the REIA - The Global Rare Earth Industry Association conference in Barcelona!

In an expert panel, Ahmad discussed the value and significance of rare earth magnets. We look forward to future conversations about the ways Canadian businesses like ours can help businesses recycle, provide the market with a secure and regional supply of critical metals, and do so in an ethical, economic, and sustainable way.

We were featured in Made in Canada Magazine!

Ahmad Ghahreman: Cyclic Materials Creating a Circular Supply Chain for Rare Earth Elements and Other Materials Critical to Electrification - Made in CA Cyclic Materials is creating a circular supply chain for rare earth elements and other materials critical to electrification.

We're pleased to share our Toronto office is now open! 😎

Visit us at 101 - 320 Bay St. or get in touch if you want to talk about the transition to an environmentally responsible future.

“When you build a company … you want to test your technology, you want to hire people to work on technology, you want to grow your business,” Ahmad Ghahreman, our CEO, said. “All those are covered in Kingston, and the city supports you.” 🚀

How this tiny Ontario city became an important node in the global supply chain for critical minerals The tiny city of Kingston, Ont. has emerged as a player in critical minerals thanks to recyclers such as Li-Cycle Holdings. Find out more.
