The urgency for sustainability is greater than ever. As technology rapidly advances, the volume of electronic waste (e-waste) and solar photovoltaic (PV) panels reaching the end of their life cycle is skyrocketing. This presents both an environmental challenge and a multi-billion dollar investment opportunity.
The global e-waste market is expected to grow rapidly by 2028, while solar PV waste is projected to increase exponentially as early solar installations approach decommissioning. Solar panels contain valuable materials such as silicon, silver, copper, and rare metals, making them a critical area for sustainable recycling solutions.
Alarmingly, less than 10% of solar panels are currently being recycled, leaving a significant gap in the market. For investors, this is more than just a profitable venture, it is an opportunity to drive environmental sustainability, job creation, and economic growth in a high-demand sector.
The ELIDZ offers an exceptional investment platform for businesses looking to establish or scale e-waste and solar PV recycling operations. With state-of-the-art infrastructure, government incentives, and strategic market positioning, the ELIDZ provides the ideal environment for investors to enter this high-growth industry.

Strategic market positioning
Proximity to key ports and logistical hubs makes ELIDZ an ideal gateway for domestic processing and global exports of recovered materials.
Expanding local market
With South Africa increasing its renewable energy adoption, demand for solar panel decommissioning and recycling is set to rise. This opens new opportunities for local
processing instead of relying on costly imports.
Government incentives
Investors can benefit from tax incentives, grants, and regulatory support to enhance the viability of recycling initiatives.
