The streamlined universal waste regulations are expected to promote the collection and recycling of solar panels and encourage the development of municipal and commercial programs to reduce the quantity of these wastes going to municipal solid waste landfills.
EPA is working on a proposal to add hazardous waste solar panels to the universal waste regulations found at Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 273 and to establish a new, distinct category of universal waste specifically tailored to lithium batteries.
According to NYSDEC guidance, solar PV panels that have reached their EOL should be managed following the state's universal waste regulations. This includes labeling and storing the waste properly and transporting it only to authorized universal waste handlers or recycling facilities.
Solar PV EOL waste management regulations in different US states SB 489 (2015): This law requires solar panel manufacturers to establish a program for collecting and recycling solar PV modules sold in California and report on their progress toward meeting recycling goals (Brokaw, 2015).
Solar PV cumulative installation in China (Xu, 2023). While China has made significant strides in leading the global development and deployment of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology, there is currently no distinct obligation for handling the waste generated by the end-of-life of solar PV installations.
Colorado: Colorado's solar PV EOL waste management regulations require manufacturers to provide a plan for collecting and recycling solar PV EOL waste. The plan must include specific targets for collection and recycling, and manufacturers must submit annual reports on their progress toward meeting these targets.
