Our country is making strong progress towards the implementation of a cleaner energy matrix in order to combat climate change. In fact, it is estimated that, by 2050, 70% of the energy produced in the country will come from these sources, but where will the waste that this industry generates go?

Although its purpose is to achieve environmental sustainability and reduce global warming, the energy industry is not exempt from generating industrial waste -photovoltaic-, which must be managed and treated correctly to pollute as little as possible.

In detail, photovoltaic solar parks contain a total of more than 14 million silicon cells, a material that must be discarded approximately every 25 years. This situation threatens to become a major problem by 2030, the year in which it is estimated that a massive replacement of photovoltaic solar parks will start in the country and that, by 2050, they could produce close to one (1) million tons of photovoltaic waste.

To deal with this reality, one of the best alternatives would be to reuse and recycle all possible material to give them a second use, thus contributing to the circular economy. For this, and all that material that cannot be recovered, expert companies in the field, such as Hidronor, are a great contribution to the industry to act responsibly with the environment.

With our service waste recovery and recycling, Besides of transport, treatment and final disposal of the same, we provide great benefits in terms of waste management and treatment, in addition to helping companies to comply with the requirements of current regulations.
