Rare-Earth Element Recovery Demonstration at RecycleForce

May 8th, 2025 • Events

RecycleForce, in partnership with the Department of Energy’s Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO) and the AMES National Lab, invites you to witness firsthand the future of rare-earth element recovery from electronic waste.

Why this matters:

  • Rare-earth elements are essential to modern technology — and the U.S. is currently dependent on foreign imports.
  • Indiana is stepping up: Governor Mike Braun recently signed an executive order to position Indiana as a national leader in rare-earth recovery.
  • RecycleForce is a pilot site for the AMES National Lab’s innovative technology, right here in Indianapolis.
