Cumulative photovoltaic (PV) power installed in 2016 was equal to 305 GW. Five countries (China, Japan, Germany, the USA, and Italy) shared about 70% of the global power. End-of-life (EoL) management of waste PV modules requires alternative strategies than landfill, and recycling is a valid option. Technological solutions are already available in the market and environmental benefits are highlighted by the literature, while economic advantages are not well defined. The aim of this paper is investigating the financial feasibility of crystalline silicon (Si) PV module-recycling processes. Two well-known indicators are proposed for a reference 2000 tons plant: net present value (NPV) and discounted payback period (DPBT). NPV/size is equal to −0.84 €/kg in a baseline scenario. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis is conducted, in order to improve the solidity of the obtained results. NPV/size varies from −1.19 €/kg to −0.50 €/kg. The absence of valuable materials plays a key role, and process costs are the main critical variables.
A British company says their bags biodegrade to nothing, but not everyone is convinced.
With the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacting global manufacturing demand and supply chains globally, there has been a considerable shift in global emissions. With such a reduction in human activity, there has been an almost 8% decrease of global energy-related CO2 emissions in 2020 to their lowest level in a decade. The UN advises global emissions must be reduced to this same extent, each year, for the subsequent decade to limit global warming to 1.5˚C.
