Solar is already in the vanguard of the energy transition, and can similarly lead the world’s transition to a circular economy. Decommissioned PV modules could total 1 million tons of waste in the U.S. by 2030. Yet there are virtually no incentives or regulations to promote its recycling or reuse. In fact, says NREL, most current regulations in the U.S. define it as solid waste, making it difficult to introduce it to a recycling value chain. In some instances the waste, defined as hazardous, is prohibited from reuse. Incentives are so poor that companies that do recover in bulk leave behind high-value materials such as silver, copper, and silicon. The main reason is that, at the national level, statutes or regulations that explicitly address PV module recycling simply don’t exist yet. Fortunately, state and industry models are being created.
With fewer of us crossing international borders right now, the humble road trip is enjoying a bit of a renaissance! Whether you’re traveling within or across state lines, a car offers you freedom, flexibility and a safe and simple way to get from A to B. By not flying, you’re helping to lower your carbon emissions, which is a great start to a more sustainable way of traveling. But when we go on any trip, we’ve got to bear in mind that we’re not only enjoying the places we visit, but also having an impact on a destination’s environment and local communities. The best road trip is the one that leaves no trace of you in the environment. Or maybe you even leave some places better than you left them!
