EVERPV Scientific Workshop explores next steps for circular PV module recycling

EVERPV Scientific Workshop explores next steps for circular PV module recycling

On 1-2 July 2026, the EVERPV project held its Scientific Workshop, “PV Module Recycling: Technologies, Materials and Circularity Challenges,” at CSEM in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. The two-day workshop brought together researchers, recycling technology developers, industrial stakeholders and circular economy experts. Together, they discussed the latest progress in photovoltaic (PV) module recycling, material recovery and circular value […]

How can Europe make solar truly circular?

This was the central question behind the EVERPV workshop on “The Future of PV Circularity: Opportunities, Challenges and Market Pathways”, where experts from across the solar value chain came together to discuss the next steps for PV recycling, reuse and material recovery. Over two days, we explored major advances in PV module recycling from mechanical […]

SAVE the DATE: Second Scientific Workshop organized by CSEM

We would like to invite you to save the date for an upcoming in‑person workshop, which will take place on 1–2 July 2026 at the premises of CSEM in Switzerland. We are currently working on the agenda and further details, but we kindly invite you to already block these dates in your calendars. Please note that the workshop will be held in person only. […]

Press Release: EVERPV project launches breakthrough delamination technology

Since July 2025, EVERPV project partner CEA’s sanding technology has become fully operational at Envie 2e Aquitaine’s facility in Saint-Loubès, France. The EVERPV project aims to improve two recycling techniques for the end-of-life solar PV panels. These techniques are focused on delamination, i.e. separating the different layers of the solar PV panel to recover materials. […]

Exploring CEA’s innovative delamination process

End-of-life management will become a significant component of the solar PV value chain. The recycling of solar PV panels at their end-of-life and the recovery of their materials can unlock a large stock of raw materials. The recovered material can be injected back into the economy in a circular way, and used in the production […]

Highlights from EVERPV’s third General Assembly

On 6–7 February 2025, EVERPV project partners convened at the CEA facilities in Grenoble, France, for the project’s third General Assembly. The meeting served as a crucial moment to assess progress, align on key achievements, and plan upcoming activities. The first day of the assembly focused primarily on the technical work packages. Partners shared updates […]

Driving circular solar solutions: EVERPV organises a session at Sustainable Solar EU

On 12 December, the EVERPV project organised a panel discussion with other EU funded projects, at SolarPower Europe’s Sustainable Solar Europe event, on ‘Closing the Circularity Loop: Research and Innovation Challenges for PV Recycling.’ Pietrogiovanni Cerchier, CEO of 9-Tech, presented the delamination technologies developed in the EVERPV project, and provided an overview of the project’s […]
