The consequences of the PV boom: HI ERN study analyses recycling strategies for solar modules
Photovoltaics is an important pillar of the energy transition. However, the expected PV ramp-up will tie up large quantities of resources. Circular recycling strategies are necessary in order to avoid waste streams in the future that are of the order of magnitude of today's global electronic waste. This is the conclusion reached by researchers at HI ERN in a study published in the renowned scientific journal Joule.
