SolarCycle exists to make clean energy massively scalable and even more sustainable by radically advancing recycling technology and infrastructure for the solar industry .
By doing this , the organisation believes it can have a positive impact when it comes to addressing the environmental issues posed by humankind ’ s activities .
To do this , it develops and defines state-of-the-art solar circular economy solutions so that , by 2030 , it can bring the cost of recycling solar systems below the price of landfilling and ensure that at least 50 per cent of all new solar systems are made with domestic recycled content .
> $ 6.6M seed funding .
> Electrostatic separation process to recycle solar panels .
> A new process to return solar panel materials to the photovoltaic industry to implement a circular economy .
