20+ years of experience
We have 20+ years of experience in waste management as well as the precious metals industry, which we fully plan on utilizing in this venture. Our strong relationships with local and international refineries and metal traders in Japan, China, Europe and more allow us to stay ahead of the competition in terms of downstream solutions.
Competitive Structure
With our vision, technology and current progress, Zenviro Solar Panel Recycling Sdn. Bhd will be the first in Malaysia to be able to offer a specialized yet comprehensive suite of recycling and end-of-life solutions for solar photovoltaic panels. Our planned setup also allows us profitable without charging a recycling fee- instead we can BUY unwanted panels from you and cover transport expenses.
Groundbreaking Partnerships
We also have several joint projects and agreements in the works with Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia's Solar Research Institute (SERI) and other local research universities, experts in solar panel refurbishment, as well as specialized solar waste recyclers in other countries.
Zero Landfill Policy
At Zenviro, we operate based on a ZERO landfill policy- every single component of a recycled PV module finds a second home.

Why dispose? Sell these to us!
From our observations, the current obvious and most expedient solution to solar waste generators is to landfill the unwanted panels. Even when sent to scrap metal recyclers, only the aluminium frame portion of the module is recovered whereas the rest is similarly landfilled or kept to one side.
At Zenviro, we aim to break this inefficient and toxic process- both economically and environmentally. Using our state-of-the-art recycling technology and efficient collection methods, we can provide you with ease of mind knowing that your recycled waste contributes to the circular economy, while you can receive commercial value for unwanted items while freeing up space in your warehouse or office.
Estimated Carbon Savings
Based on figures from a recycling study, recycling a standard 2x1m 25kg solar panel with us can save the Earth from an estimated staggering:
32.5kg per solar panel
1
Aluminum
2.25 kg x 8.14 kg of CO2 saved
18.32 kg
2
Glass
18.75 kg x 0.31 kg of CO2 saved
5.81 kg
4
Plastic/EVA
2.85 kg x 1.02 kg of CO2 saved
2.91 kg
5
Silicon
0.75 kg x 5.86 kg of CO2 saved
4.4 kg
3
Copper
0.4 kg x 2.66 kg of CO2 saved
1.06 kg

Are you a solar farm operator, installer or household user?
We want to buy your broken/scrap panels and give them a second life through recycling or refurbishment. Large quantities encouraged. Contact us now below!
Environmentally Friendly Practices
Our reliable recycling practices ensure that you can are contributing to a greener planet. We also supply recycled materials such as glass to boost your decarbonisation efforts, while contributing to a circular economy.
We are undergoing ESG compliance tests to ensure standards are upheld at the highest level.
Sustainable Panel Solutions
At Zenviro Solar Panel Recycling, 30 years is not the full lifespan of a solar panel. We are committed to providing innovative end-of-life solutions for your broken panels either by refurbishment where possible, or to extract the raw materials used to produce the panels in the first place and incorporate them into something new.
Help us avoid the sourcing of new raw materials where we can produce them from unwanted panels, and get paid doing it.
The Solar Waste Crisis
As Malaysia ramps up its use of solar energy, with some reports suggesting the utilisation of 164 million panels by 2050 (Bernama 2024), the issue of solar panel waste is becoming more pressing. With solar photovoltaic (PV) panels having a lifespan of 25 to 30 years, many are starting to reach the end of their life, creating a need for effective recycling and disposal methods. Currently, Malaysia lacks the necessary infrastructure to handle this waste efficiently, and improper disposal can lead to environmental problems due to the hazardous materials some panels contain, which is where Zenviro comes in. As more solar panels are installed, addressing this challenge becomes increasingly important to minimize environmental impact and manage resources effectively.
At Zenviro Solar Panel Recycling, we offer comprehensive recycling and refurbishment services for both residential and commercial solar panels. We have the capability to purchase and transport large volumes, especially if you own or operate a solar farm. We also supply recycled materials to boost any ESG or decarbonisation efforts your company and manufacturing process might be committed to.
Waste solutions
We specialize in purchasing your unwanted solar panels especially in large quantities, ensuring that they are given a second life in the sustainable energy ecosystem.
Recycled materials
Our commercial panel recycling process produces various raw materials, such as glass and a mix of metals. Buying and incorporating such recycled materials into your various manufacturing processes ensures limited new raw materials are not exploited, while boosting ESG and decarbonisation efforts.
Refurbishment
We are leverage on our connections with expert refurbishers to prevent your solar panels from becoming waste where possible.
