INEGI article: 'The other side of renewables - the end of life and circularity of photovoltaic panels'

The INEGI - Institute of Science and Innovation in Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Engineering (ALER Member) has published an article on circularity in the photovoltaic industry.

"The other side of renewables - the end of life and circularity of photovoltaic panels" is an article that reflects on the photovoltaic panels' lifespan and the need to implement a dismantling and recycling system when they reach the end of their life. Best practices for dealing with the waste generated are presented and circularity in the industry is promoted.

In addition, INEGI presents a project developed in partnership with E-Cycle - Association of Producers of Electrical and Electronic Equipment, with the purpose of analysing and evaluating the technical, economic and environmental feasibility of installing and implementing a production line aimed at dismantling and recycling photovoltaic panels, with the consequent recovery of the materials present in their composition.

INEGI is a Research and Technology Organisation (RTO), focused on research and technology-based innovation activities, technology transfer, consulting and technological services, oriented to the development of industry.
