Resource Potential and Disposal Suggestions of Emerging Solid Waste under the Zero-Waste City Construction
Under the global consensus of clean energy structure transformation,the development and growth of the photovoltaic power generation industry have brought about a wave of retirement of photovoltaic modules.Retired photovoltaic modules have dual attributes of environmental pollution and resource value,and it is necessary to explore the formation of sustainable and environmentally friendly disposal plans.At present,the recycling and disposal of retired photovoltaic modules in China is still in its infancy,facing practical difficulties such as an unsmooth recycling chain,poor economy,and high risk of secondary pollution during recycling.In this regard,EU countries have introduced supportive policy frameworks and adopted administrative regulatory measures,which can serve as a reference for China.At the same time,taking advantage of the construction of"zero waste cities"in China,efforts are being made to carry out the management and disposal of emerging solid waste such as retired photovoltaic modules according to local conditions.
