JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- OnePlanet Solar Recycling, LLC ("OnePlanet"), an advanced materials recovery processor specializing in end-of-life solar panels, today announced that it has secured the R2v3 Certification from SERI, a collaborative nonprofit organization focused exclusively on minimizing the environmental and health risks posed by used and end-of-life electronics. After undergoing a comprehensive audit process, OnePlanet's recycling facility located in Green Cove Springs, Florida, has been certified to uphold SERI's highest standards of traceability for processing photovoltaic modules.

To secure the R2v3 Appendix G certification, OnePlanet was required to track every material that enters and leaves its facilities to establish strong, verifiable traceability and certify that the company is properly recycling the PV modules. In doing so, OnePlanet has established itself as a market leader in end-to-end traceability.

OnePlanet has developed an advanced materials recovery process to leverage aging and damaged solar panels as sources of critical materials – primarily aluminum, copper, and silicon – that are essential for the broader energy, manufacturing, mobility, and semiconductor industries. The company sees an opportunity to create a new circular solar market by reintroducing these materials, from panels that would otherwise end up in landfills, back into domestic supply chains.

"The industry has a responsibility to implement verifiable mechanisms to guarantee that solar panels are being recycled and processed responsibly, yet as we speak with various stakeholders, it is clear that these expectations aren't being met," said André Pujadas, Chief Executive Officer of OnePlanet. "At OnePlanet, we are committed to ensuring that the materials and metals extracted can be definitively traced to compliant, responsible end-users."

OnePlanet recently announced the successful close of a $7 million seed financing round, led by Khasma Capital, to develop its next-generation industrial-scale "River City" Project of a solar panel recycling facility in Green Cove Springs, Florida. Expected to process six million solar modules a year once fully operational, the River City Project is projected to be one of the largest dedicated solar recycling operations in North America.
