About
Katarzyna Kapustka is a leading researcher in sustainable materials engineering, with a primary focus on the recycling and lifecycle management of rare-earth magnets. Her work addresses the critical intersection of industrial ecology and advanced manufacturing, particularly in the context of Industry 4.0 and the growing demand for magnetic materials driven by automation and robotics. Kapustka’s major contribution lies in developing process management frameworks and technological solutions for the recycling of neodymium magnets, effectively giving them a "second life." Her most-cited paper, "Process management and technological challenges in the aspect of permanent magnets recycling - the second life of neodymium magnets" (2020), has garnered 11 citations, highlighting its influence in the field of circular economy for critical raw materials. This work tackles the pressing challenge of limited rare earth availability, proposing sustainable pathways that align with global green technology goals. Kapustka’s research is pivotal for industries seeking to reduce dependency on virgin rare earths, making her a key voice in the transition toward a more resource-efficient and technologically resilient future.
