The Platform
How Barding recovers and refines what everyone else can't.
Two proprietary biological processes replace the capital-intensive, hazardous chemistry that keeps rare earth recovery and refining expensive today, from ore and waste alike.
How It Works
Two proprietary steps.
Six critical elements recovered.
Two proprietary processes turn rejected feedstock into six high-purity compounds, sold to magnet manufacturers, metallization plants, and defense primes.
Ores, Mine tailings, e-waste, and monazite
Proprietary biology mobilizes rare earths from the feedstock, under ambient conditions.
Each element is isolated at high purity, in a single integrated process.
Six high-purity rare earth compounds, ready for direct use
Six Elements, Recovered at High Purity
One platform. Every buyer that needs rare earths.
