At the bvse trade fair evening, our Managing Director Tom Reiling was honoured for our PV recycling solution with the SME award for recycling in the category ‘pioneering technology solution’. We would like to thank the bvse Bundesverband Sekundärrohstoffe und Entsorgung for this award.

Münster, May 14, 2024 - Just under a year after opening the first Reiling PV recycling site in Germany, we have achieved two technological breakthroughs in the recycling of silicon-based PV modules. Firstly, the glass quality of the recovered PV glass has been significantly improved. In addition, silicon recovery was implemented on an industrial scale. This marks two important milestones in the processing of PV modules towards closing the recycling loop.

We would like to take today's World Recycling Day as an opportunity to call on private individuals and businesses to dispose of recyclable materials such as glass, PET bottles, wood and PV modules correctly. After all, recycling recyclable materials conserves primary raw materials and protects the environment. And that's not all - recycling can also save considerable amounts of energy and CO2 emissions in the manufacture of new products. One of the most important prerequisites for optimised recycling, however, is the collection and separation of recyclable materials by type.

We are pleased to announce that our employee and Co-Managing Director of Ruhrglas Recycling - Benedikt Heitmann - is joining our existing management team at Reiling Glas Recycling with immediate effect. Together with our long-standing Managing Director Marc Uphoff, he is now responsible for the Marienfeld, Gladbeck, Torgau, Osterweddingen and Lünen sites and will enrich the management team with his technical expertise in particular.

In order to meet the ever-growing challenges of the European glass industry, the two long-established companies Schirmbeck and Reiling founded a joint company last year, the Czech "SR Glass Recycling s.r.o.". The company already owns a site in the Chomutov region, where a new glass recycling plant is being built. Both companies hold an equal 50% stake in the company.

What's special about episode #36 of Memodo's successful energy experts podcast?
Our recycling expert Benedikt Heitmann (Research & Development) was invited by the lovely Lena Wörther (Memodo GmbH) and answered her important questions about PV recycling at Reiling.

Together with its Swiss partner - KWB Planreal AG - Reiling PV-Recycling is involved in the Swiss PV Circle project. The project around the initiators SENS eRecycling, Swissolar and the Bern University of Applied Sciences as well as other partners from the solar and energy industry intends to determine the optimal recycling strategy for photovoltaic modules at the end of their first life cycle based on data. Photovoltaic modules that are still efficient are to be put back on the market as second-hand modules.
