Haiki+, an Italian waste management company, is investing in solar panel recycling. The company's CEO, Giovanni Rosti, says the growth of photovoltaic energy will lead to a significant increase in discarded solar panels, making it essential to have an industrial chain capable of recovering materials. Haiki+ has launched a line at its Sale plant in Alessandria that can process 120,000 solar panels per hour and recover 100% of aluminium, 98% of copper and glass, and plastic.
The company plans to expand its recycling capacity and export its technology to other Italian sites, with an investment of 19 million euros as part of its 2026-28 plan.
