We own and operate Australia’s most advanced solar panel recycling facility
Our world-leading solar panel recycling facility. We just launched a world-class solar panel recycling facility – the first of its kind in the southern hemisphere – right here in Parkes, NSW. Here, we recover valuable commodities to be redirected back into the circular economy.
The solar panel ‘tsunami’
Currently only 15% of solar panels are recycled in Australia and worldwide
Typically, the aluminium frame and junction box are recovered. The remaining material ends up in landfill or is shipped overseas
The amount of e-waste created from solar PV and battery storage is forecast to increase 18-fold by 2030
Our new facility will achieve best-in-class recycling rates
An ethical solution to end-of-life solar
Until now, installers, solar manufacturers, retailers and wholesalers, and solar farms have been faced with a huge dilemma: what do we do with our old panels when they need an upgrade? With no viable solution on home soil, the vast majority (85%) of defunct solar panels have ended up in landfill in Australia.
As the only e-waste processing business with sites right across the East Coast of Australia, we can work with you to deliver a recycling solution consistent with your green credentials and environmental commitments.
Our world-leading solar panel processing plant has significant support from the NSW EPA is now operational in Parkes. Call us for a tour.
