SolarWorld is a German company dedicated to the manu- facturing and marketing of PV products worldwide by integrating all components of the solar value chain, from feedstock to module production, from trade with solar panels to the promotion and construction of solar power plants. Their recycling process is as follows [38]: end-of-life modules are incinerated where plastic components are burnt in a complex semiconductor-protecting process at 600 °C. Remaining materials such as solar cells, glass and metals are separated manually.
