KG<\/strong> as part of Environment Minister Oliver Krischer&#8217;s summer tour. Together with <strong>Environment Minister Oliver Krischer<\/strong> and <strong>Lara Wever<\/strong> (Head of Department VIII B 4), they took a tour led by <strong>Tom Reiling<\/strong>, Managing Director of Reiling GmbH &amp; Co. KG, <strong>Sarah Menden<\/strong> (Head of Marketing and Corporate Communications) and <strong>Malte Fislake<\/strong> (Operations Manager at Reiling PV Recycling). <\/p>\n<p>Photovoltaic modules enable clean energy generation. The Reiling company is dedicated to the <strong>resource-efficient disposal<\/strong> of these modules through recycling. After use, the PV systems are inspected at <strong>Germany&#8217;s first photovoltaic recycling site in M\u00fcnster<\/strong>. Only those parts that can no longer be used are recycled according to their components. This allows silicones, glass and metals to be reused as recyclates on an industrial scale.    <\/p>\n<p>A picture featuring one of artist HA Schult&#8217;s \u2018Trash People\u2019 figures was a must!<\/p>\n<p>We would like to thank Reiling GmbH &amp; Co. KG for the fascinating tour of their facilities.<\/p>\n<p>More information on the supply system, regional potential and circular approaches to the use of critical raw materials in North Rhine-Westphalia can be found in the Green Economy Paper published by the Environmental Economy Competence Network NRW:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.knuw.nrw\/fileadmin\/public\/Redaktion\/Dokumente\/Publikationen\/Green_Economy_Paper\/Green_Economy_Paper_KNUW_Kritische_Rohstoffe.pdf\">Green Economy Paper<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_gallery el_id=&#8221;gallery-178698&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; screen_lg=&#8221;1000&#8243; screen_md=&#8221;600&#8243; screen_sm=&#8221;480&#8243; single_overlay_opacity=&#8221;50&#8243; single_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;783242&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>31 July 2025, M\u00fcnster<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":116233,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[385],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-116219","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-2025-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inzin.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inzin.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inzin.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inzin.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inzin.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116219"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/www.inzin.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116219\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":116350,"href":"https:\/\/www.inzin.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116219\/revisions\/116350"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inzin.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116233"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inzin.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inzin.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inzin.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
