Solar Materials Doubles Recycling Capacity

, Solar Materials

Since spring 2025, the company has been operating a recycling facility for solar modules in Magdeburg.

Annual capacity has now been doubled to 14,000 tonnes, according to Solar Materials GmbH. The company’s current expansion strategy focuses on strengthening Europe’s energy and resource sovereignty, with its home market Germany, core European markets, and the United Kingdom taking priority. Using its patented mechanical process, Solar Materials recovers all materials from decommissioned solar modules. A partnership with the Reiling Group is intended to close the loop for solar glass.
