RMIT University are leading a network of international research and industry experts in tackling the waste associated with end-of-life (EoL) photovoltaic (PV) panels.

Together we are developing a state-of-the-art resource recovery and purification process for EoL PV panels. Our research and development explores electrochemical, thermal and selective dissolution processes to treat PV waste. We are also exploring innovative commercial models, aimed at re-using EoL PV panels before they enter waste streams.

The project receives funding under the International Clean Innovation Research Network: an Australian Government funded program.
