India lags behind on photovoltaic waste management in the European Union

Solar photovoltaic (pv) net news: India consulting firm Bridge to India, 发言) Said that India is an urgent need to formulate the appropriate quality standards in [ In] The manufacture of components [ Use] Environmentally sustainable materials. Think & other; This can help India to the potential risk of scrap components waste to a minimum. ”

BTI estimates that by 2050, India's solar cell components waste quantity will increase to 1. 8 million tons. Now, neither India policy guidelines, also does not have the required operating infrastructure, to ensure that the components of waste recycling. The country has not recycling facilities for antimony containing glass panels.

, by contrast, the European Union have & other; Throughout 2009 ecological design instruction &; ( Eco - 2009年设计指令) , a aims to reduce energy related products in its entire life cycle of the environmental impact of policy tools.

the general manager of BTI wrestling Rustagi said, want to make solar energy become the real green energy, the industry must make joint efforts to actively make sure to have a sustainable waste management solutions in the industry of solar energy.

in 2011, according to India's electronic waste management and treatment regulations ( E- 废物管理和处理规则2011) Most, in the tender documents, will be the responsibility of the photovoltaic waste treatment and disposal to the developers.

BTI believes that the current solar component of the recovery is still not commercial appeal. Europe and the United States of recycling costs estimated at $250 to $300 per ton. According to the distance, still need to increase the 60 - 100% of the transportation cost. In contrast, the value of material recycling estimate is only 45 - per ton About 130 dollars. The current national & ndash; — The European Union and the United States, in particular, is for a variety of positive attempt, in order to find out an economic and effective way to ensure higher raw materials recovery.
