What we do

Recover. Reuse. Replenish.

  • Solar Panels
    Materials recovered during solar recycling include glass, aluminium, copper, silicon and silver.

  • E-Waste
    Recovered materials from e-waste include metals like copper and gold, as well as plastics and glass.

  • Cables
    Recovered materials from cables include copper and insulation materials like polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE).

The future of energy is solar, but what happens when solar panels reach the end of their lifespan? At Lotus Recycling, we are pioneering urban mining, extracting valuable materials from end-of-life solar panels to reduce waste, replenish critical resources, and create a truly sustainable circular economy.
