SUMMARY:Recycling Renewables: Australian Best Practice for Solar and Batteries
DESCRIPTION:The transition to renewable energy continues to accelerate across Australia, with solar and battery technologies playing an increasingly important role in the national energy mix. Alongside this growth comes a parallel challenge: managing the end-of-life impacts of these technologies in a way that supports long-term sustainability outcomes.\nBuilding on the first webinar in this series, which examined European best practice, this session will focus on the Australian context, highlighting the policies, programs and emerging solutions shaping the recovery and recycling of solar panels and batteries.\nSolar panels typically have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years, while batteries range from 5 to 15 years. As early installations begin to reach end of life, Australia is starting thttps://aien.com.au/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=mec_category&post_type=mec-eventso see the emergence of these waste streams at scale. Addressing them effectively will require coordinated action across industry, government and the resource recovery sector.\nThis webinar will explore:\n\nExisting and proposed product stewardship approaches\nAustralia’s current recycling capacity and infrastructure\nAdvances in solar panel and battery material recovery\nRegulatory and policy developments\nOpportunities to improve circularity through design and innovation\n\n \nBringing together key stakeholders from across the value chain, this session will provide practical insight into how Australian best practice is evolving and what is needed to support a more sustainable lifecycle for solar and battery technologies.\n \nFor more information and registration click here.
