🌍✨ Schaeffler develops process to recover and reuse rare earth magnets from EV motor rotors

Why we’re watching: Specialists at Schaeffler's E-Mobility plant in Szombathely, Hungary have developed a process for recovering rare earth magnets from defective electric motor rotors and reusing them in new ones.

Seven people in Szombathely and two in Germany worked on the project, which Schaeffler calls "Pioneering Sustainability." The magnets are pressed out of the defective parts, then cleaned and vacuum packed. 💚

They go into new rotors under strict testing, according to the company.
