☑️ We have developed a mechanical-physical process to crush, grind, disassemble and disintegrate solar panels to recycle individual materials like #valuable metals, #plastic , 3 different fraction of #glass and #aluminium.
☑️ Thanks to this innovative process, any #recycled components would have a very high grade of purity, therefore, these could be reused for production as high quality raw materials in accordance with the requirements of the legislation.
☑️ In particular, such innovative technology allows the reuse of glass as a raw material for the glass and construction industry.
☑️ This process fulfill the concept of the #circulareconomy , and it has a low #environmental impact and it is #energyefficient .
☑️ Contact us (info@dekonta.cz) to install our technology in your region or country!
