We contribute to environmental sustainability with a new photovoltaic panel recycling service

We detail what our specialized solutions for this type of waste consist of

In the coming decades, it is estimated that large quantities of waste will be generated in Chile from the solar photovoltaic (PV) industry. The figures projected in this regard are disturbing: by 2030 there would be between 10 and 30 thousand tons of discarded panels, while by 2040 there would be between 120 and 140 thousand tons of this waste, and by 2050 it would exceed 300 thousand tons.

Para hacer frente a esta problemática, en Hidronor incorporamos un nuevo servicio de reciclaje de paneles fotovoltaicos para responder de forma oportuna a la necesidad de gestión sostenible que hoy Chile y el mundo necesitan. 

“En nuestra planta de Antofagasta estamos recibiendo paneles fotovoltaicos provenientes de la industria energética y, fruto de ello, hemos detectado una interesante oportunidad de valorización”, detalló Juan Andrés Salamanca, Gerente Comercial de Hidronor, quien sostiene que éstos están catalogados dentro de la REP Law como aparatos eléctricos y electrónicos, además de como residuos peligrosos.

At Hidronor we will continue working to incorporate the most advanced technologies in the industry in order to continue contributing to environmental sustainability with our services associated with hazardous waste management, apoyando así la ambiciosa meta de que Chile sea líder en reciclaje de “chatarra” renovable y pueda dirigir el camino de la circular economy en América Latina.
