PV Industries has been awarded $400,000 through the Victorian Government's Circular Economy Markets Fund for our project "Validating a new commercial pathway for solar panel glass".
1. Project Outcome
The outcome of this project is to have a confirmed solar panel recycling plant design configuration that produces a glass product suitable and validated for commercial use in Victorian end-market applications. This will be done by establishing a commercial pilot plant which demonstrates a process to recover the glass from solar panels.
2. Circular Economy Investment
The circular economy policy is part of the Victorian Government's $515 million investment to deliver the biggest ever transformation of Victoria's waste and recycling industry.
3. Additional Information

This funding represents a significant milestone in establishing commercial pathways for solar panel glass recovery in Victoria, supporting the state's transition to a circular economy.
