6 FAQs about [Agreement on the treatment of waste photovoltaic panels]

Are PV panels a general waste?

In most countries, PV panels fall under the classification of “general waste” but the European Union (EU) was the first to adopt PV-specific waste regulations, which include PV-specific collection, recovery, and recycling targets.

Is PV waste regulated?

Despite the regulatory developments at the state level, there is no US federal regulations specifically designed to regulate PV waste management. PV waste is regulated by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, which does not contain any specific regulatory requirement for PV waste.

How important is regulation for PV recycling in the EU?

The importance of regulation at the EU level has been underlined by results from a stakeholder survey we have conducted in December 2021-February 2022 on awareness, and drivers and barriers to PV panel recycling in the EU. Respondents rated EU regulations such as the WEEE directive as the most important drivers of PV recycling.

How is PV waste handled?

In other parts of the world, PV waste is typically handled under each country’s legislative and regulatory framework for general waste treatment and disposal; however, policy approaches for accelerating PV EOL management, including supporting technology R&D, have been developed.

What is PV module recycling?

In the runup to the world PV markets, in Europe, starting in 2012, PV module recycling was mandated through the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2012/19/EU , which includes the collection, recovery, and recycling targets for waste from electrical and electronic equipment, including PV panels.

Why is R&D funding important for PV waste management?

The potential economic and environmental gains from sustainably managing PV waste have motivated the allocation of R&D funds toward accelerating the scaling of startups focusing on recycling Si PV waste and of industrial firms with experience in recycling non-PV products to expand operations into PV waste management.
