Pantarei\u2019s stated goal is to <strong>separate the various components of the panels with high precision, preventing contamination and enabling the recovery of materials for reuse in production processes<\/strong>. This approach aims to reduce the use of virgin raw materials and, at the same time, dependence on imports of strategic materials.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"h-economia-circolare-applicata-all-industria\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Circular Economy Applied to Industry<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project thus seeks to address one of the limitations that have plagued the sector to date. As the companies explain, until now, the recovery of the materials contained in the panels has faced technological challenges that have reduced their economic value. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The launch of Pantarei stems from a specific environmental responsibility but immediately translates into an extraordinary industrial opportunity,&#8221; said <strong>Paolo Cimatti<\/strong>, CEO of New Time. &#8220;With this investment, we are not only solving a crucial waste disposal problem for the consortia, but we are also creating a self-sufficient ecosystem. The secondary raw materials extracted from the plant will be directly integrated into our industrial processes.\u201d <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal is to foster an internal production chain in which recovered materials can be used to create new products.<\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"h-una-sfida-che-riguarda-tutta-la-transizione\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">A challenge that affects the entire transition<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project is also part of a broader context. In the coming years, the photovoltaic sector will face a gradual increase in the number of modules to be decommissioned, while the need to reduce Europe\u2019s dependence on imports of critical raw materials is growing. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside recycling, the repowering of existing facilities is also gaining importance, as it allows for the replacement of older panels with new-generation modules without using additional land. Companies cite this as one of the main benefits of the initiative. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pantarei does not exhaust the topic of the end of life of photovoltaic systems in Italy, but it marks a significant step: the management of end-of-life panels is now considered a component of industrial policy. On the other hand, the energy transition will only truly be complete when it can close the loop, bringing raw materials back into the production cycle instead of letting them go to waste. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Time and Esaving are investing three million euros in a joint venture aimed at recovering up to 740,000 modules per year.
