Toward a Circular Economy

With the era of mass solar panel disposal fast approaching, Hamada Co., Ltd. has established the Solar Panel Reuse and Recycling Association. By opening up our advanced recycling technologies and extensive expertise in reuse operations, we are leading the industry in developing shared guidelines and standardizing technical practices. Moving beyond individual business interests, we are building a platform to ensure that solar power—as a vital social infrastructure—remains clean until the very end of its lifecycle.
Looked at from a different perspective, the mass disposal of solar panels signals the birth of a massive “urban mine.” Through this association, our goal is not only to prevent environmental pollution caused by improper disposal but also to realize a fully circular society where recovered glass and metals return to support industry once again. From installation and removal to processing and policy-making, as an industry pioneer, we are committed to ensuring that renewable energy becomes truly sustainable.
