Moser Baer Solar Ltd is the new member of PV Cycle with effect from 1st Jan 2010
January 4, 2010
PV CYCLE was founded in July 2007 to implement the photovoltaic industry’s
commitment to set up a voluntary take back and recycling programme for
end-of-life-modules and to take responsibility for PV modules throughout their
entire value chain.
PV modules are designed to generate clean, renewable energy for over 25 years.
With the first significant installations in the early 1990s, full-scale
end-of-life recycling is still another 10-15 years away.
Nevertheless, the PV industry is working to create truly sustainable energy
solutions that take into consideration the environmental impacts of all stages
of the product life cycle, from raw material sourcing through end-of-life
collection and recycling. Although the PV industry is young, leading
manufacturers embrace the concept of producer responsibility and have come
together to put in place a voluntary, industry-wide take-back and recycling
programme. By addressing future recycling needs now, PV cycle offer a truly
sustainable energy solution today to help prevent climate change tomorrow.
Through PV Cycle, the photovoltaic industry wants to install an overall waste
management and recycling policy which achieves the highest economically feasible
and environmentally responsible collection and recycling of PV modules.
Advantages of PV Cycle Circle:
- Reduces the volume of PV Waste.
- Increase the reuse of valuable resources such as glass, silicon and
other semiconducting Materials
- Reduces the life cycle energy consumption and the environmental Impacts
associated with PV Production.
