Researchers model 1,708 pathways for global PV waste recycling, finding $935.5 billion in potential net benefits by 2060
Reported bypv magazine ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
An international research group developed a comprehensive framework evaluating 1,708 different solar panel recycling scenarios across 32 regions and various waste-trade configurations, finding that optimized recycling could cut up to 3.32 billion metric tons of CO2 equivalent and generate $935.5 billion in net benefits by 2060.
These are modeled projections based on different scenarios; actual outcomes will depend on technology deployment, policy support, and regional economic conditions.
