China accounts for the vast majority of rare-earth production worldwide and this has, in the past, led to huge price volatility. Processing 1 tonne of rare-earths can produce up to 2000 tonnes of toxic waste. Separating the materials requires huge amounts of carcinogenic compounds like sulfate, ammonia and hydrochloric acid.
