Targeted recycling of glass-glass modules trades value for lower impact

AI Summary

A study finds that selectively recycling frameless glass-glass solar modules with polyolefin elastomer encapsulation can reduce energy use and global warming impacts compared with processing entire modules. The approach yields less recovered-material value, with silver accounting for most of the revenue.

Targeted recycling of frameless, polyolefin elastomer-encapsulated glass-glass modules lowers energy use and global warming impact compared with treating the whole module, but reduces recovered material value, according to a new study, with silver dominating revenue.
