We received the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Deputy Director-General's Award for Promoting the Transition to a Decarbonized Growth-Oriented Economic Structure.
■Award winning points
Our company's horizontal recycling of solar panel cover glass is an initiative that promotes resource circulation using advanced technology and systems. The project was evaluated as an initiative that contributes to the realization of a sustainable recycling-oriented society by promoting the transition to a circular economy and achieving carbon neutrality.
■Technology overview
Our company has been working on solar panel recycling since 2015 in order to solve the problem of mass disposal of solar panels, which has become an environmental issue.
Recycling cover glass, which accounts for over 60% of the weight of solar panels, is an important recycling issue.
Our company has achieved "horizontal recycling" of cover glass, which was not possible using conventional technology alone, by combining it with new technology.
