Rethinking Rare Earth Recovery
“At Metasorbex™, we see rare earth recovery not as a resource problem, but as an infrastructure challenge — a bridge between distributed secondary feedstocks and resilient domestic supply chains.
Our work explores how programmable materials and modular processing approaches can complement existing refining systems, enabling greater flexibility across feedstocks such as coal fly ash, industrial byproducts, and other secondary resources — including challenging magnetic REE separations (Dy/Tb).”

Rethinking the Bottleneck: Infrastructure, Not Resources
February 25, 2026
Domestic secondary feedstocks already exist at scale, yet processing models were built for a different resource reality.
February 25, 2026
Coal fly ash, tailings, and industrial residues introduce new tradeoffs between concentration, accessibility, and infrastructure alignment.

As feedstocks diversify, future REE supply may depend on systems that combine centralized refining with more flexible, material-driven approaches.
