Now THIS is recycling! ♻️☀️
We thought this was pretty cool — a new facility is being planned specifically to recover valuable materials from end-of-life solar panels and give them another life.
As a company that builds carts for the recycling and material handling industries, we always enjoy seeing new ways materials are being recovered, reused and kept out of landfills.
Pretty amazing how recycling continues to evolve!
☀️🇺🇸 America's first dedicated critical materials recovery plant for solar panels is coming, and it's a big deal for the domestic supply chain.
We Recycle Solar has announced plans for the nation's first end-to-end critical materials recovery facility for retired solar panels, launching in Texas in Q3 2027. The plant will recover up to 96% of the silver, copper, silicon, aluminum and glass from end-of-life panels entirely on U.S. soil, tackling a growing problem: an estimated 90% of America's old solar panels currently end up in landfills or get shipped overseas for processing, taking valuable critical materials out of the domestic supply chain with them.
Want to see how the process works and why it matters for silver and critical mineral supply chains?
