Cyclic Materials transforms yesterday’s waste into tomorrow’s critical materials. We’re creating a circular supply chain for the rare earth elements and critical materials that power our global economy, without compromising quality or environmental impact.
Our proprietary two-phase process is unlocking value from discarded waste. Our REEPure™ technology simplifies the separation of rare earth magnets and critical metals from end-of-life electric vehicles, consumer electronics, wind turbines, and MRIs. Then our REEPure™ technology restores those valuable materials back to their raw form, unlocking new revenue streams for metal buyers and feedstock companies. We are the only high-tech recycling company offering a scalable, efficient, and low-carbon recycling solution that complements mining on both quality and cost, and mitigates the risks associated with extraction.
Cyclic Materials is setting a high bar for sustainable resource recovery. We’ve solved the barriers to creating a circular economy for rare earths, and our transparent, data-driven approach ensures the highest standards of sustainability and traceability, including rigorous Scope 3 carbon tracking and water efficiency.
With USD $83.5M in funding, including USD $53M in Series B funding backed by partners like Microsoft and BMW i Ventures, we’re scaling our recycling infrastructure across North America and Canada to meet global demand.
Cyclic Materials is establishing a more resilient, domestic supply chain for rare earths and critical metals, providing opportunity and value for global industries.

Since its founding in 2009, Jule has strived to create a greener, more efficient landscape for the energy that powers our homes and communities. Jule believes that the time for fast & widespread electric vehicle charging is now – not in a distant future when “EVs are more common” or “the electric grid can handle it.” With its energy storage-activated vehicle and bus charging technology, the company makes the case for grid-independent charging that improves onsite energy efficiency on the side: a modular energy hub that intelligently factors in grid & site conditions to deliver a reliable charge no matter the time or place.
A home-grown talent at the forefront of Canada’s energy innovation space, Jule has worked with governments, companies and research institutions in North America and abroad to install over 70 MW of power. The company currently develops and operates an electric vehicle charging network with a dozen deployments in Ontario, Manitoba and Michigan, and 30 more deployments in Canada and the United States in the pipeline.
The company is driven by a culture of dynamic, cross-functional teamwork and employee empowerment, and is home to some of the brightest minds in the Canadian energy storage industry.
