♻️Pholtovoltaics closed loop recycling & manufaturing♻️ Our innovative recycling of photovoltaic modules project "ReGCell", funded by DBU Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt and showcased at Woche der Umwelt hosted by Federal President of Germany Frank-Walter Steinmeier was a great success. Recently, we proposed a continuation of “ReGCell” to develop a #closed_loop #recycling and #manufacturing process for photovoltaic modules. The key goal is to recover all the materials in very high purity from photovoltaic modules (C-si and CIGS) with our “Green Chemistry” advanced #electrochemical_process and #3D_print #flexible_solar modules using the recovered materials. Our partners include Dr. Brian Johnston from iBiotech LTD, Kiran Gulia from University of Wolverhampton Bernd Freidrich and Damien Latacz from IME Process Metallurgy and Metal Recycling at RWTH Aachen University.

We're proud to be associated with SRH Berlin University of Applied Sciences in shaping the sustainable recycling industry! ♻️ Founded just 2 years ago, we at ABCircular GmbH embarked on this journey with a fervent ambition to set new benchmarks. Our commitment to a greener future is exemplified by projects like ReGCell, recently presented at Woche der Umwelt hosted by Federal president of Germany and DBU Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt. ReGCell brings together #industry expertise with the bright minds of SRH Berlin University of Applied Sciences students, focusing on a #green_chemistry approach for #recycling #photovoltaic modules. This collaboration fosters the next generation of leaders in recycling #technology and the #circular_economy, through initiatives like #research, #training, and #workshops. We're developing a plan to build a #recycling_plant here in the Berlin-Brandenburg region to implement our new recycling technology. We recently submitted a funding application with Kiran Gulia from the University of Wolverhampton and Dr. Brian Johnston from iBiotech LTD who are experts in #additive_manufacturing. Together, we'll use the funding to develop a new #3D_printing method to create #flexible_solar modules from the raw materials we recover. This will bring us closer to a #closed_loop_system. We strongly believe that a #circular_economy, built on close industry-academia collaboration, is the key to a sustainable future. https://lnkd.in/e52BnUv7

A throwback to our participation in Solar Winter School 2024! 🌞 This February ABCircular GmbH got an opportunity to present our research to young and aspiring minds in the field of #energy and #sustainability. Prof. Dr. Gesa Beck and Marta Revello Olivo delivered a lecture equipping attendees with practical knowledge and valuable industry connections within the #photovoltaics sector. 🔆 ♻ Marta Revello Olivo's lecture focused on the crucial topic of NMC-111 #battery_recycling, highlighting advancements in #sustainable practices within the #renewable_energy sector. This was followed by a thought-provoking presentation by Prof. Dr. Gesa Beck on the broader theme of #sustainability in renewables. The #Solar_Winter_School program provides an exceptional platform for hands-on learning. It fosters connections between participants, established industry professionals, and renowned academics, all working towards a shared vision for the future of photovoltaics. This intensive program empowers participants with practical skillsets, strengthening their international employment prospects across both emerging and mature markets. 👩🏫 At ABCircular GmbH, we firmly believe that education, awareness, and continuous skill development are the cornerstones of a sustainable future. We are proud to be at the forefront of these crucial endeavors. We thank Matthias Raab for the great training initiative and invitation for the event. Stay tuned for more updates! 🛎 #solarenergy #renewableenergy #photovoltaics #batteries #sustainability #ABCircular #SolarWinterSchool #GSAN - German Solar Academy Network
