This week, the European Council confirmed that solar module manufacturers will bear responsibility for the waste disposal and recycling of modules in the EU.

French waste giant Veolia has opened the first PV recycling facility in France through a partnership with PV Cycle, a not-for-profit take-back and waste management programme for solar in Europe.
