Solar panels present recycling challenges from toxic constituents, costly material separation and weak markets for recovered materials; batteries face mixed-metal chemistries, hazardous handling and insufficient collection infrastructure. Technical responses include mechanical and hydrometallurgical recycling, design-for-recycling and closed-loop reuse. The regulatory focus is on Extended Producer Responsibility to mandate producer-funded collection, treatment and recycling, while harmonised standards, infrastructure investment and stakeholder collaboration are needed to align product design, market incentives and compliance. en-us Mon, 19 May 2025 08:38:01 +0530 Mon, 19 May 2025 08:38:01 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/article/detailed?id=14437 End-of-life management for solar panels and batteries requires integrated regulatory and technical measures.
