ABB and Solar MaterialsCircular economy in the solar industry
Solar modules supply electricity for decades - and then often end up as hazardous waste. The Magdeburg-based cleantech company Solar Materials wants to change this and is relying on industrial robotics from ABB. Five six-axis IRB 6700 robots are now automating the first steps of the recycling process, which allows up to 98% of the raw materials to be recovered - a significant step forward for sustainability in the industry.
