SILVER SPRINGS, Nev., June 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Comstock, the only complete end-to-end solar panel processor in the US, earns the R2V3 to Appendix G and RIOS Certification. They pioneer panel processing with proprietary delamination methods, producing 100% commodity-ready products. All parts of the panel, including glass, aluminum, and fines, are fully recycled. 

"Our company is dedicated to environmental sustainability and has achieved high standard certifications. We have developed a closed-loop model where even floor sweepings and employee PPE are processed into market-ready products. I am very proud of what we have achieved, "commented Fortunato Villamagna President at Comstock Metals LLC.

Appendix G was added in January 2024, and it is only until recently that our accredited auditors were able to be certified to the added standard. It is quite an accomplishment for Comstock Metals to be the first certified Solar Panel Processor globally.

"Solar panel recycling is a win-win-win – good for consumers, the economy, and our planet," said Evelyn Butler, Vice President of Technical Services at the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA). We congratulate Comstock Metals on this achievement – one of our Preferred Recycling Partners – and we look forward to continuing this partnership for the benefit of the entire solar energy industry."
