The article talks about 100,000 metric tons of solar panel waste generated in Australia over some unspecified timeframe. (They mention 2035, so I assume they are talking about solar panels that will serve their useful life in the two decades before 2035?)
Meanwhile Australia generates a million tons of waste each year, from single use plastics alone. And also every year, 130,000 tons of plastic makes it to the ocean.
