Solar Panel Recycling

Established by recyclers, for the emerging panel recycling industry.

At SPR, our mission is simple yet crucial: to advocate for true solar panel recycling as this emerging recycling stream takes root in the United States. This can only be achieved through clean commodity separation.

We understand that achieving a circular economy requires ongoing research and development in our advanced panel recycling technologies as well as ongoing investment in our team, facilities, and communities.

Our team brings decades of successful recycling businesses and expertise to the emerging solar recycling market, specializing in solving the challenges of achieving a circular economy.  Our supply chain relationships for generated commodities are well established, have global outreach, and diverse in manufacturing industries used.  Simply put, this expertise and focus on circularity is what sets us apart from new solar panel recyclers whom come from non-recycling backgrounds.
