The renewable-energy waste problem belongs to all of us.
No single recycler, installer, manufacturer or government agency can solve Australia’s renewable-energy waste challenge alone.
Resolve was designed to sit between the different parts of the industry and make responsible recovery easier.
We are actively building relationships with organisations across the renewable-energy and circular-economy supply chain.
Solar installers & electricians
Installers are on the frontline of Australia’s solar waste problem.
Every upgrade, insurance replacement, damaged system and repower can generate panels and equipment that need somewhere responsible to go.
Resolve provides installers with a practical regional pathway for recurring solar waste, supported by recording and documentation options.
For larger installers we can discuss regular collection, palletised transport and commercial arrangements.
Homeowners
Old panels often end up behind sheds, under houses or stacked in garages because homeowners simply do not know what to do with them.
Resolve gives the community somewhere better.
Bring them to us by arrangement, or contact us to discuss collection.
Businesses & commercial asset owners
Commercial solar systems can involve hundreds or thousands of individual components.
When these assets are upgraded, damaged or decommissioned, businesses increasingly need to demonstrate responsible environmental management.
Resolve can assist with collection, logistics, recording and documented recovery pathways for commercial renewable-energy equipment.
Councils & waste organisations
Regional access is one of the biggest challenges in renewable-energy recycling.
Resolve wants to work with councils and resource-recovery organisations to develop practical collection pathways that keep renewable-energy equipment out of inappropriate waste streams and reduce unnecessary transport.
Our Byron Bay facility can provide a regional aggregation point while the Resolve model is designed to be scalable into additional locations over time.
Government
Australia is entering a critical period in the management of renewable-energy waste.
Resolve is interested in working constructively with Commonwealth, state and local government on collection models, pilot programs, product stewardship, regional logistics, data collection and resource recovery.
Our objective is not simply to participate in the waste industry.
It is to help develop the infrastructure required to support Australia’s renewable-energy transition throughout the complete lifecycle of the products being installed today.
Manufacturers & distributors
Product stewardship increasingly requires manufacturers and supply chains to consider what happens after a product’s useful life.
Resolve is interested in working with manufacturers and distributors on regional take-back programs, reverse logistics, product identification, recovery data and responsible downstream pathways.
Solar farms & large-scale renewable assets
Australia’s large-scale renewable fleet will create increasingly significant end-of-life material flows.
Resolve’s model of collection, recording, aggregation and logistics can be expanded to support larger decommissioning and repowering projects.
We welcome discussions with asset owners, EPCs, operators and waste-management partners about future projects.
Insurance companies
Storms, hail, fire and other events can result in large quantities of solar equipment being removed at once.
Resolve can work with insurers, assessors and solar businesses to provide an accountable pathway for damaged renewable-energy equipment and documentation of what has been received and where it is destined.
Universities & research organisations
There is still a great deal Australia needs to learn about renewable-energy waste.
Resolve intends to make its facilities and operating data useful to researchers studying product lifespan, reuse, material recovery, logistics, circularity and emerging recycling technologies.
We welcome collaboration with universities, researchers and technology developers.
Recycling & resource-recovery partners
Resolve does not believe the future is about one company doing everything.
The solution will be a network.
We want to work with specialist recyclers, processors, transport companies, manufacturers and material buyers capable of turning collected renewable-energy waste into valuable resources.
Industry problem. Shared solution.
If your organisation has a role in renewable energy, waste, manufacturing, research, government or the circular economy, we would like to hear from you.
