Solar energy is the future, but the growing demand for solar panels is rapidly depleting key materials like silver.
Lotus Recycling provides an innovative solution by recovering and refining these materials, ensuring solar energy remains sustainable long after panels reach their end of life.
Through our state-of-the-art recycling process, we extract and recover essential materials, helping industries reduce reliance on virgin mining:
Glass (Silica) – Recovered high-purity silica is repurposed for glass manufacturing, including new solar panels. It is also used in renders products and additives into sleepers, tilt mount solar PV structures and fire proof tiles
Aluminium – Extracted aluminium is reintroduced into production for new solar panel frames and industrial use.
Copper – Reclaimed copper wiring is processed for use in electrical and technological industries.
Silver – University of New SouthWales forecasts the solar industry will absorb 85-90% of global silver reserves. Our process extracts and refines silver from end-of-life solar panels, replenishing the supply and ensuring silver remains available for future clean energy technologies.
Nano Silicon – A cutting-edge material, nano silicon enhances battery storage, increasing battery lifecycles and overall performance. It is also vital for the semiconductor industry, playing a key role in silicon chip production.
Traditional mining is no longer a sustainable solution.
Urban mining—recovering valuable materials from discarded products — helps reduce dependency on finite natural resources. By recycling solar panels, we close the loop, ensuring materials like silver and silicon remain in circulation rather than being lost to landfill.
Our Decommissioning Process:
Safe Handling & Removal – Our experts carefully dismantle solar panels, inverters, and mounting structures with minimal environmental impact.
Logistics & Transportation – We manage the collection and transportation of decommissioned panels to our recycling facility.
Material Recovery – Panels are processed to extract valuable materials like silver, nano silicon, copper, aluminium, and glass.
By choosing Lotus Recycling, you ensure that your solar decommissioning project is handled sustainably, maximizing material reuse and minimizing waste.
Electrical infrastructure is growing, leading to an increase in discarded power cables, wiring, and electrical components. Instead of allowing these materials to go to waste, our cable recycling service efficiently recovers:
Copper and AluminiumWiring –Processed and refined for reuse in electrical, solar, and industrial applications.
Plastic and InsulationMaterials – Separated and repurposed to reduce plastic waste and pollution.Recycling cables helps reduce e-waste, conserve raw materials, and lower the environmental impact of electrical infrastructure.
Beyond solar panels and cables, we specialize in recycling general industrial waste to minimize landfill contributions. Our solutions include:
Solar Panel Waste – Managing broken or decommissioned panels to extract reusable materials.
Electronic Waste (E-Waste) – Recovering metals and components from discarded electrical equipment.
Industrial Scrap – Processing metal and non-metal waste for sustainable reuse.
By implementing efficient waste management solutions, we help businesses and industries transition toward zero waste goals.
By choosing Lotus Recycling, you helpdrive a sustainable future, reduce environmental impact, and secure criticalmaterials for the next generation of clean energy technology.
