Belgium – Following a surge in business activity, Belgium-based PV CYCLE – which specialises in the dismantling, demolition and renovation of photovoltaic modules – is setting up offices in Germany and Italy.
‘By bringing our collection and recycling services closer to the market, we want to promote existing partnerships, advance new ones and proactively contribute and respond to national, regional and local developments,’ says PV CYCLE’s President Wilfried Taetow. The non-profit association has now become active in all EU member states and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries since its inception in 2010.
According to the association’s Managing Director Jan Clyncke, regionalisation is a multi-stage process. ‘The plan to provide local presence will contribute significantly to the development of our actionable national WEEE laws and processes,’ he says. ‘We want to create a stronger national framework within our European programme.’
The German Solar Association BSW-Solar has applauded the expansion decision. ‘PV CYCLE’s presence will enhance competition, which serves acquiring the best solutions available on the market,’ states Managing Director Jörg Mayer.
So far, the association has collected well over 5000 tons of old photovoltaic modules through its collection and recycling programme – roughly half of which now originate from Italy and Germany. With members spread across Europe and overseas, PV CYCLE comprises 90% of the European PV market.
