26 January 2010, Berlin, Germany

In the framework of the international collaboration IEA PVPS Task 12 “Environment Health &Safety”, EPIA, PVCYCLE and the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission (JRC) hosted the 1st International Conference on PV Module Recycling on the 26 January 2010 in Berlin, Germany.

The event presented the state-of-the-art PV module recycling and provided a platform for discussion between the PV industry and the most experienced players in recycling from other related sectors.

During the first session, an overview of all the recovery and recycling techniques for the different PV technologies (c-Si, CdTe, CIGS, thin film silicon) was given by the most experienced industry and knowledgeable research centres.

During the second session, industries involved in recycling processes from other sectors (e.g WEEE recycling, glass, lamps, etc.) shared experiences and synergies which could be applied to the PV module recycling technologies. A discussion on recycling costs and future plans for recycling in the EU took place during the last session of the conference.
