New recycle centre will handle PV module recycling

News

Saperatec GmbH has commissioned an industrial pilot plant for the recycling of composite materials at its headquarters. Saperatec has developed the patented process especially for the processing of plastic-plastic and plastic-aluminium laminates. In addition to processing packaging materials and beverage cartons, the plant is also able to recycle automobile glass or photovoltaic modules.

Thanks to sophisticated micro-emulsions, Saperatec offers a completely new and unique possibility to separate composite materials and, thus, to recover the individual components as clean secondary raw materials. The entire separation process is realized inside the plant: from treating the composite material in the micro-emulsion, via the washing of the separated materials all the way to the recirculation of the micro-emulsion and sorting of the individual fractions thus obtained.

"Per year, composite materials with a value of more than a billion Euros are thrown away. With a recycling quota of 100 per cent, our wet-chemical process provides for a sustainable raw materials industry", said Saperatec's managing director, Jörg Dockendorf.

"With this plant, which can process up to 500 tonnes of composite material waste per year, we are proving the industrial readiness of our patented process", explains his co-managing director, Sebastian Kernbaum.

The company will soon begin working on customer-tailored projects. For this, Saperatec will license the process for industrial plants at the customer and provide the appropriate micro-emulsions.
