Stokkermill has just returned from the prestigious IFAT 2024 fair in Munich, where the focus was on the recycling of exhausted PV panels. In a world increasingly oriented towards sustainability, the need to enhance and recover materials such as glass and aluminum from photovoltaic panels is becoming an increasingly urgent challenge.
Innovations in sight:
During the event, we were at the forefront presenting innovations in the field of photovoltaic panel recycling and connecting with potential customers from all over the world. Cutting-edge technologies, such as the Stokkermill photovoltaic panel processing plant, are emerging to efficiently recover and recycle glass and other resources from spent PVs.
The recycling of photovoltaic panels will play a crucial role in the coming years, also taking into account the International Energy Agency (IEA) objectives of obtaining 40% electricity from renewable resources within 2030.
The delamination and recovery of Glass: Stokkermill delaminating mill
A key point that emerged during the IFAT event was the importance of recovering glass from spent photovoltaic panels. Glass is a precious resource and recycling it efficiently not only reduces waste, but also helps preserve natural resources and promote environmental sustainability.
Recycling operations, however, must be efficient for the recovery chain. For this reason, Stokkermill has developed a special delaminating mill capable of processing significant quantities of material, being able to guarantee the quality of the output materials. The process also allows the panels to be processed without the need to previously remove the aluminum frames, a further factor that can help simplify logistical operations and reduce their environmental impact.
Conclusions:
In conclusion, for Stokkermill the fair highlighted the importance of recycling photovoltaic panels in the transition towards a more sustainable economy. With the adoption of cutting-edge technologies within panels recycling plants and the commitment to address current challenges, the photovoltaic panel recycling sector presents itself as a crucial area for promoting innovation and sustainability. Therefore, choosing adequate solar cells recycling equipment is the only way to ensure that your business is at the front line for the coming decade.
