Further improvement in the PV recycling capacity and technology is needed to meet future increased demand and to realize the goal of high-value, low-cost recycling. To improve economic aspects of PV module recycling, considering values of recovered materials such as critical minerals would be also necessary.
Regardless of whether there are PV-specific waste regulations, many companies are treating PV module waste for proper EOL management and recycling, and the number has increased since the last time IEA PVPS Task 12 surveyed three years ago. Current recycling faces economic and capacity challenges.
As per the IEA, the current low volumes of EOL PVs, lack of efficient recycling technologies, logistics challenges, and undeveloped markets for recovered materials result in a high-cost, low-revenue scenario of PV module recycling. However, there are examples of market leaders in this space.
Current recycling faces economic and capacity challenges. The current low volumes, limited recycling technologies, logistics challenges, and underdeveloped markets for recovered materials result in a high-cost, low-revenue scenario for PV module recycling today.
PV module recycling technology is expanding from delamination to metal recovery as well as exploring more valuable markets for recovered materials. Enabling the use of recovered materials in new PV cells/modules and other high-value markets are ultimate targets, whereas impurities and additives remain issues to be solved.
