NPC participated in PRiME2024
October 6~11, 2024
Our President and CEO, Masafumi Ito gave a presentation about our solar panel disassembly equipment at PRiME2024. PRiME is a joint conference of the Electrochemical Society (ECS), the Electrochemical Society of Japan (ECSJ), and the Korean Electrochemical Society (KECS), which has been held since 1987. It was a great honor and a valuable experience for us to be able to introduce our technologies and initiatives on such a globally prestigious stage.
Through our appearance on the stage, we received a great deal of interest from overseas researchers and industry professionals. In particular, we received many questions and feedback regarding the separation of glass and metal of the solar panels, which we are putting effort into. That made us realize once again that our technology is attracting worldwide attention. We will continue to take advantage of the valuable feedback we received and will continue to take on the challenge of further technological innovation. Toward the realization of a sustainable society, we will continue to promote the development of cutting-edge technologies and provide valuable solutions to people around the world.
NPC participated in the IEEJ Conference
September 2, 2024
Our president & CEO Masafumi Ito participated in the special session “From Photovoltaic Cell Materials to Photovoltaic Power Generation Systems” at the IEEJ Division A Conference held at Ehime University's Johoku Campus. During the session, he gave a presentation on solar panel disassembly equipment and other related topics. After his presentation, the session was followed by a reception, which allowed us to have a meaningful interactions with other participants.
NPC participated in AM-FPD24
July 2, 2024
Our President and CEO, Masafumi Ito, gave a presentation at an international symposium called AM-FPD24 held at Ryukoku University in Kyoto, Japan on July 2-5, 2024. Based on the theme of photovoltaics for a sustainable future, the presentation was on "Glass and Metal separation technology to improve solar panel recycling (TENTATIVE)".
ATM-FPD24 is an international workshop to share the latest research results and technologies related to flatpanel displays, thin-film devices, and photovoltaics, and has been held annually since 1994 with the aim of contributing to the development of IT, IoT, and sustainable society.
