Sarriguren, Spain

About

With the aim of reducing the generation of waste, CENER in collaboration with partners in a service for CINEA, developed a recyclability index for PV modules and inverters, which allows the calculation and comparison of the recyclability potential of the products.

This study is developed in a comprehensive European policy context aiming to reduce the generation of waste, the consumption of resources and the associated environmental impacts of electric and electronic products, including PV modules and inverters:

  • The Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) No 2012/19/EU

  • The Circular Economy Action Plans (December 2015 and March 2020) (CEAP)

  • The Ecodesign Directive (2009/125/EC) (ED) and the new Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR)

  • The Energy Labelling Framework Regulation ((EU) 2017/1369) (EL)
