US EditionENGIE and SOLARCYCLE Announce Innovative "Precycling" Collaboration to Incorporate Circularity Into Domestic Solar Projects
- On June 18, 2025, ENGIE North America announced a precycling collaboration with SOLARCYCLE to integrate solar panel recycling into four U.S. projects totaling 375 MW across the Midwest.
- This initiative arose from growing concerns over solar panel waste accumulating in landfills and the need to embed recycling from the project's start to advance circular economy goals.
- ENGIE and SOLARCYCLE will ensure full traceability of about one million panels and recovered materials will re-enter the domestic supply chain to support sustainable clean energy.
- Caroline Mead, ENGIE SVP, emphasized that working together with SOLARCYCLE reflects their mutual dedication to ensuring the industry's enduring sustainability through this innovative initiative.
- This effort models a scalable precycling approach that could divert 48 million pounds of waste and cut 33,000 tons of carbon emissions while addressing resource depletion challenges.
