Industry welcomes proposed NSW solar panel recycling scheme
The NSW Government is consulting on the country’s first mandatory solar panel recycling scheme to ensure valuable solar panel materials are recovered, reused and recycled. The state has more than 1.18 million rooftop solar systems across homes, businesses, schools and community facilities. As these systems age, increasing numbers of solar panels are ending up in landfill. Each year, around 14,000 tonnes of solar panel waste is generated in NSW.

Solar panels contain valuable materials that can be recovered and put back to work,” said Minister for the Environment Penny Sharpe. “A mandatory product stewardship scheme can help build a circular economy for solar panels, while supporting new recycling and manufacturing opportunities here in NSW.” By recycling solar panels, valuable resources can be captured, potentially creating new economic opportunities. Materials such as aluminium, glass, silicon, copper and silver can be recovered and...
