On 10 January, EVERPV will organise a webinar to present the findings of the EVERPV White Paper on the reusability of recovered materials for the PV industry.
Objective
- To present innovative processes and findings from the EVERPV project on delamination, purification, and reuse of materials from end-of-life solar PV panels, highlighting technical achievements and their implications for circularity and EU strategic autonomy.
- To discuss EVERPV achievements’ implications for circular and low-impact PV supply chains, and their relevance for international sustainability goals and strategic autonomy.
Target Audience
- Policy makers and regulators at International and European levels
- PV industry stakeholders (manufacturers, recyclers)
