A new era of photovoltaik recycling
As a technology company, FLAXRES has set itself the task to revolutionize the recycling of composite materials. With a process based on high-intensity light pulses, photovoltaic modules can be separated into their main fractions. Thanks to the innovative method, the components obtained are of high quality and can be profitably returned to the materials cycle.

Let us think about it
In industrialized countries, up to 50 million tons of electronic waste are already produced every year. Previous recycling methods do not offer any cost-efficient holistic recycling options. Therefore, FLAXRES has developed a new recycling process that fully recovers all materials without the use of chemicals and allows to return the materials to production – A new standard in the recycling of photovoltaics.
The number of defective photovoltaic modules or those that have been taken out of service as a result of so-called “repowering” has risen sharply by now. In Germany alone, around 400,000 tons are forecasted for 2030, which is equivalent to around 20 million modules. The high quality of the materials after the separation process by FLAXRES enables a genuine and, in particular, economically lucrative circular economy, in contrast to the currently predominant “downcycling” by shredding and subsequent sorting the photovoltaic modules.
