(NYSE: LODE) (“Comstock”) today announced Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) toured Comstock Metals’ first solar panel recycling facility in Silver Springs, Nevada to highlight the state’s growing clean energy economy and strong job growth in the region.
- “We are very appreciative of Senator Cortez Masto’s support and thank her for visiting Comstock’s first-of-kind solar panel recycling facility in Silver Springs,” said Corrado De Gasperis, Executive Chairman and CEO of Comstock.
- Comstock’s proprietary recycling process not only creates a circular supply chain solution for these materials, but it also reduces the environmental impact of landfilling solar panels.
- Dr. Fortunato Villamagna, President of Comstock Metals, concluded, “With a significant amount of solar PV waste from decommissioned solar panels ending up in landfills, plastic laminates from solar cells, VOC contaminates, and heavy metals are potent greenhouse gas and water leachate generating materials that pose critical threats to human health.”
