Livium Ships First Solar Panels to South Korea as It Targets Lucrative Silver Recycling Market

The latest update is out from Lithium Australia NL ( (AU:LIT) ).

Livium has completed the first phase of its collaboration with South Korea’s Won Kwang S&T by collecting, packing and shipping 600 end‑of‑life solar panels from Australia for processing with Won Kwang’s proprietary photovoltaic recycling technology. The panels will be used to validate large‑scale recycling methods aimed at efficiently isolating solar cells and recovering high‑value materials, particularly silver, while Livium also works with IonDrive on downstream extraction using IONSolv technology. With Australia’s end‑of‑life solar panel waste expected to rise from about 60,000 tonnes a year to more than 90,000 tonnes by 2030, Livium sees silver recovery—estimated at a gross contained value of A$110 million annually today, growing to A$165 million by 2030—as a key economic driver supporting the commercial case for domestic solar recycling. The company’s phased, asset‑light collaboration with Won Kwang S&T is intended to lead to a joint venture to build and operate an Australian PV recycling plant, and the Federal Government’s A$24.7 million National Solar Panel Recycling Pilot is viewed as strengthening the regulatory and logistics framework needed for a scalable circular-economy solution.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:LIT) stock is a Sell with a A$0.01 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Lithium Australia NL stock, see the AU:LIT Stock Forecast page.
