Sustainable PV Recycling with PHOTORAMA

The PHOTORAMA project is paving the way for the recycling of millions of tonnes of PV waste. This project is developing a circular model to reuse materials like glass, aluminium, copper, silver and silicon from old solar panels. The growth of solar energy generation is an integral part of the energy transition, but finding sustainable solutions for photovoltaic panels that reach the end of their lifecycle is also a growing challenge. The work of this Horizon 2020 project was recently recognised at the EU Sustainable energy Week Innovation awards. Areti was at the event in Brussel where she spoke to Claire Agraffeil, the EU project coordinator from the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA). THE CEA plays a key role in the PHOTORAMA project, including Coordination and technological development for pre-industrial integration. Lets find out more…
