Solar energy is a great source of environmental benefit, but what will happen when these plants stop producing energy? Will they turn into a mountain of waste or a mine of resources?
The next major challenge in recycling is solar energy:
The unstoppable growth in the installation of photovoltaic systems will inevitably lead to a significant increase in waste. The estimates are staggering: IRENA predicts that there will be 78 million tonnes of discarded panels globally by 2050.
However, this could represent a significant opportunity for those working in industrial waste recycling. Managing these materials correctly involves:
- Recover valuable raw materials
- Strengthen the circular economy
- Access a huge potential market
