Photovoltaic Circularity: Solar Panel Recycling and End-of-Life Considerations

Recycling is one of the primary methods used to keep end-of-life solar panels out of landfills and recirculate various raw materials. However, regulatory and technical challenges, such as a lack of global coordination and limitations in the Harmonized System, have hindered international trade in the industry. This EBOT explores the global state of solar panel recycling and end-of-life opportunities for these products, with a focus on U.S. capabilities and policies that incentivize recycling.
