Following the introduction of the EU directive concerning electronic waste (WEEE, 2012/19/EU), all member states have issued national procedures to ensure the proper PV module recycling process. Complying with the standards of each country can be rather complex for PV companies, as there are 26 different ways of implementing the same directive.
FuturaSun has always been very responsive to these requirements. Thats why we have joined PV Cycle Deutschland the worlds largest organisation in this field to comply with the German standard, which was recently amended in 2016 (ElektroG Teil I Nr. 40, 23 October 2015). FuturaSun records the number of products launched on the German market on a monthly basis and pays the financial guarantee to cover the costs for their future disposal.
We are glad to point out that, as of today, FuturaSun has never had modules delivered to collection facilities for disposal. Futurasun modules have a 12-year warranty against defects and a 25-year power output warranty.
