Future Investment Outlook
Smart Recycling Innovations Power a Greener Tomorrow
Technological Breakthroughs & Industry
Upgrades
‧ Physical separation technology replaces traditional chemical recycling, achieving
purity over 99%.
‧ AI + automation reduce recycling costs and improve efficiency; annual capacity
can reach thousands of tons.
‧ Rare metal recovery technology continues to improve, enabling material
remanufacturing and forming a circular supply chain.
Regulatory & Policy Support
‧ Countries are strengthening green energy recycling laws to enhance corporate
responsibility.
‧ Carbon trading markets encourage investment in solar recycling
technologies.
‧ Recycling subsidies and investments attract more enterprises into R&D
of recycling technologies.
Business Models & Market Opportunities
‧ Establish remanufacturing systems to improve secondary utilization of glass,
silicon, and aluminum.
‧ A wave of photovoltaic panel retirement may push the recycling market value
into hundreds of billions of NTD annually.
‧ International cooperation—China, the US, and EU may propose global PV recycling
standards and enhance technology exchanges.
Environmental Sustainability
New technologies can increase solar panel recycling rates to over 98%, compared to 85–90% with
traditional methods. Efficient recycling enables continuous use of high-purity silicon, glass,
aluminum, and silver, adding high value.
Physical decomposition replaces harsh chemicals, reducing pollution and aligning with ESG goals.
Automation further lowers labor costs and increases efficiency. The global solar waste recycling
market is expected to reach USD 120 billion (NT$3.6 trillion) by 2030.
