Metallkraft has introduced a unique and proprietary advanced mechanical process that ensures that the spent slurry (used in the silicon wafer cutting process in the production of solar panels) is fully recycled and that all other materials are recovered. This technology results in 100% recycling without adding any chemicals and with no waste streams. The recycled slurry retains fully its cutting abilities, at a fraction of the cost of virgin slurry.

Metallkraft is headquartered in Kristiansand, Norway. It has built its expertise on years of research and development in the area of silicon and spent slurry recycling. Its 140+ staff are highly skilled and dedicated to serving the solar industry and the environment.

Metallkraft has factories in Kristiansand, Norway, Yangzhou, China and a Singapore plant servicing REC ScanWafer which opened in November 2010. CPE subscribed for €10m of a €17m total convertible bond issue.
