In this episode, Anthony Vippond shares his journey from installing off-grid solar systems in the early '90s to pioneering large-scale solar panel recycling. Seeing a major gap in the industry, his company developed an advanced process to recover 98% of materials from discarded panels. He discusses the global need for sustainable recycling, government interest in his technology, and the financial challenges of scaling the operation.

Anthony also dived into the potential of nano-silicon, a high-value byproduct from recycled panels, which could revolutionise battery storage. With backing from governments and industry leaders, he is set to expand operations worldwide, addressing the growing issue of solar waste in a rapidly evolving energy landscape.
