Regulatory initiatives such as the EU Critical Raw Materials Act further strengthen the importance of regional and circular raw material sources.<\/p>\n\n\\n\n\n<p>SOLAR MATERIALS connects both and unlocks a new regional raw material source for industry.<\/p>\n\n\",\"margin_bottom\":\"default\",\"margin_top\":\"default\"}}]}]}],\"name\":\"SM Text\"},{\"type\":\"section\",\"props\":{\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"padding_bottom\":\"xlarge\",\"padding_top\":\"xlarge\",\"status\":\"disabled\",\"style\":\"default\",\"title_breakpoint\":\"xl\",\"title_position\":\"top-left\",\"title_rotation\":\"left\",\"vertical_align\":\"middle\",\"width\":\"expand\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"row\",\"children\":[{\"type\":\"column\",\"props\":{\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"position_sticky_breakpoint\":\"m\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"headline\",\"props\":{\"content\":\"SOLAR MATERIALS vs. Primary Raw Material Extraction\",\"image_align\":\"left\",\"image_margin\":\"xsmall\",\"margin_bottom\":\"large\",\"title_element\":\"h2\",\"title_style\":\"h1\"}},{\"type\":\"table\",\"props\":{\"class\":\"home-table\",\"image_svg_color\":\"emphasis\",\"link_style\":\"default\",\"link_text\":\"Read more\",\"meta_style\":\"text-meta\",\"show_col2\":true,\"show_col3\":true,\"show_col4\":true,\"show_content\":true,\"show_image\":true,\"show_link\":true,\"show_meta\":true,\"show_title\":true,\"table_head_col2\":\"Mining\/Primary Extraction\",\"table_head_col3\":\"SOLAR MATERIALS\",\"table_order\":\"1\",\"table_responsive\":\"responsive\",\"table_width_meta\":\"shrink\",\"table_width_title\":\"shrink\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"table_item\",\"props\":{\"col2\":\"high\",\"col3\":\"up to 80% lower\",\"col4\":\"\",\"title\":\"Carbon Footprint\"}},{\"type\":\"table_item\",\"props\":{\"col2\":\"high\",\"col3\":\"up to 80% lower\",\"col4\":\"\",\"title\":\"Energy Demand\"}},{\"type\":\"table_item\",\"props\":{\"col2\":\"global, dependent\",\"col3\":\"regional, Made in Germany\",\"col4\":\"\",\"title\":\"Supply Chain\"}},{\"type\":\"table_item\",\"props\":{\"col2\":\"limited, site-specific\",\"col3\":\"variable and predictable\",\"col4\":\"\",\"title\":\"Availability\"}},{\"type\":\"table_item\",\"props\":{\"col2\":\"Primary quality\",\"col3\":\"Industrial quality, specifiable\",\"col4\":\"\",\"title\":\"Quality\"}},{\"type\":\"table_item\",\"props\":{\"col2\":\"variable\",\"col3\":\"WEEE-compliant, ElektroG-certified\",\"title\":\"Compliance\"}}]},{\"type\":\"button\",\"props\":{\"grid_column_gap\":\"\",\"grid_row_gap\":\"small\",\"margin_bottom\":\"default\",\"margin_top\":\"large\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"button_item\",\"props\":{\"button_style\":\"default\",\"content\":\"Contact us now\",\"dialog_layout\":\"modal\",\"dialog_offcanvas_flip\":true,\"icon_align\":\"left\",\"link\":\"en\/contact\/\"}},{\"type\":\"button_item\",\"props\":{\"button_style\":\"secondary\",\"content\":\"How it works\",\"dialog_layout\":\"modal\",\"dialog_offcanvas_flip\":true,\"icon_align\":\"left\",\"link\":\"en\/technology\/\"}}]}]}],\"props\":{\"attributes\":\"uk-scrollspy=\\\"cls: uk-animation-slide-bottom-medium; delay: 250; repeat: true;\\\"\"}}],\"name\":\"SM Home Table\"},{\"type\":\"section\",\"props\":{\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"padding_bottom\":\"xlarge\",\"padding_top\":\"xlarge\",\"style\":\"secondary\",\"title_breakpoint\":\"xl\",\"title_position\":\"top-left\",\"title_rotation\":\"left\",\"vertical_align\":\"middle\",\"width\":\"expand\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"row\",\"children\":[{\"type\":\"column\",\"props\":{\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"position_sticky_breakpoint\":\"m\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"headline\",\"props\":{\"content\":\"Certified.
