As the RESILEX project nears its conclusion, join our consortium partners for the Final RESILEX Webinar. This event will showcase the project’s concrete, pilot-validated results across the entire silicon and critical raw material (CRM) value chain, providing a definitive blueprint for a resilient, circular economy in Europe.

Our expert speakers will present breakthroughs across four core pillars:
- CRM Recovery from Mining Waste: Learn how CETAQUA successfully developed a low-cost chemical-biological treatment train to extract valuable metals (zinc, copper, cobalt, and nickel) from acidic mining wastewater, turning hazardous legacy liabilities into market-ready intermediate concentrates.
- Advanced PV Waste Recycling: Discover Groupe Comet’s multi-step logistical and metallurgical recovery process, demonstrating how to profitably extract high-purity silicon from end-of-life solar panels by integrating PV waste streams into existing multi-material recycling infrastructure.
- Next-Generation PV Eco-Design: Explore CEA-INES’s successful development of a TRL 7, 60-cell solar module prototype. Designed for effortless end-of-life recycling, this module slashes carbon footprints by 20–25% through the integration of lead-free interconnections, fluorine-free backsheets, and thermoplastic encapsulants.
- New Material Streams for Batteries: See how the University of Liège (GREEnMat Laboratory) closed the loop by upcycling the high-purity silicon recovered from recycled PV panels directly into high-capacity silicon-carbon anodes for advanced Lithium-ion batteries.
