SEATTLE (Waste Advantage): Comstock, a complete end-to-end solar panel processor in the U.S., earns the R2V3 to Appendix G and RIOS Certification. They pioneer panel processing with proprietary delamination methods, producing 100% commodity-ready products. All parts of the panel, including glass, aluminum, and fines, are fully recycled. 

“Our company is dedicated to environmental sustainability and has achieved high standard certifications. We have developed a closed-loop model where entire panels are processed into market-ready products. I am very proud of what we have achieved, “commented Fortunato Villamagna President at Comstock Metals LLC. 

Appendix G was added in January 2024, and it is only until recently that our accredited auditors were able to be certified to the added standard. It is quite an accomplishment for Comstock Metals to be the first certified Solar Panel Processor globally. 

“Solar panel recycling is a win-win-win – good for consumers, the economy, and our planet,” said Evelyn Butler, Vice President of Technical Services at the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA).
