In fall, 2023, the first Sakumoto Thermal Decomposition Apparatus produced by Niimi Solar Co., Ltd., the establisher of our Association, is scheduled to be operated.
Sakumoto Thermal Decomposition Apparatus (Atmos-01)
It realized the extraction of highly pure materials without discharging carbon oxide for the first time in the world.
Our Association is establishing the sales route of the glass separated from the disposed solar panels, and dealing with the decomposition of the solar cells separated from the disposed solar panels, so that the next policy to 3R Policies i.e. “Reborn” Policy to regenerate the latest solar panels out of the disposed solar panels will be realized.
Rebornglass
Upcycling of the glass separated from the disposed solar panels was realized. This solved the most challenging big issue in recycling of the solar panels.
