For inventions to become innovations, they need a practical application. That is why we transfer our ideas to industry together with partners and found or participate in companies and start-ups.
Silicon recycling - Circular Silicon
Whether as an alloying element in aluminum, a raw material for chemical products or in highly pure form for solar cells and computer chips: silicon is an indispensable raw material for our society. Yet the production of silicon is not only energy-intensive but also associated with direct CO2 emissions. With our environmentally friendly technology, we recycle silicon and thus save fossil resources, energy and ultimately CO2.
Solar module recycling - SOLAR MATERIALS GmbH
SOLAR MATERIALS develops a technology to recycle photovoltaic (PV) modules in an environmentally friendly and economical way. The use of physical-mechanical processes eliminates the use of expensive and unsustainable chemicals, with the aim of fully recovering all raw materials: glass, plastics, metals and precious metals.
