Refined recovered glass can be recycled into premium quartz slabs for kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, and other high-end interior building material markets, achieving high added value.

Aluminum Frame
Aluminum Ingot Re-manufacturing

High-purity aluminum frame material can go directly into metal recycling markets. After smelting it is re-formed into aluminum ingots for building materials, transportation, electronics, and other high-demand industries.

🔶
Silver / Copper
Precious Metal Refining

After separating electrode silver paste and conductor copper powder, they are sent to precious metal smelters for purification, recovering high-purity silver and copper powder for electronics, medical, and other high-value industries.

🔘
Silicon Powder
Silicon Powder Recycling & Reuse

The crushing and sorting stage produces silicon powder (with trace glass powder), which can enter silicon material recycling systems, matched to different downstream markets based on purity grade.

🟫
Plastic Powder
EVA / Backsheet Plastic Recovery

EVA and backsheet plastic powder produced during the crushing and sorting process can be disposed of compliantly or recycled as material, depending on regional regulations.
