Alta Resource Technologies and Gallantry Global Logistics have partnered on an innovative pilot program to produce one ton of purified rare earth oxides from recycled hard disk drive (HDD) magnets. This initiative aims to create a sustainable and profitable model for rare earth element (REE) recovery, reducing reliance on traditional mining. Gallantry Global will manage procurement, processing, and logistics, while Alta will refine the extracted materials into high-purity oxides for reintegration into the supply chain. This collaboration represents a significant step toward a circular economy solution for critical materials.
COPPELL, Texas, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Alta Resource Technologies (Alta) and Gallantry Global Logistics are joining forces on an innovative pilot program to produce one ton of purified rare earth oxides from end-of-life hard disk drive (HDD) magnets. This initiative aims to establish a sustainable and profitable model for recycling rare earth elements (REE) critical to high-tech and clean energy applications. Under this collaboration, Gallantry Global will oversee the procurement of used HDDs, extraction and processing of magnets, as well as storage and logistics. Alta will then refine the deconstructed magnets into high-purity rare earth oxides that meet industry standards for reintegration into the supply chain.
"This pilot represents a major step toward reducing dependence on virgin rare earth mining by demonstrating a circular economy solution for these critical materials," said Nathan Ratledge, CEO at Alta Resource Technologies. "By leveraging our advanced processing capabilities alongside Gallantry Global's expertise in logistics and material recovery, we are paving the way for a more sustainable supply chain."
The successful execution of this pilot will pave the way for broader adoption of rare earth recycling, offering a viable alternative to traditional extraction methods and reinforcing the long-term sustainability of these critical materials.
