Ah, the myth of recycling. I wonder what the next recycling movement will be? Discarded EV batteries? Dead solar panels? How does this next iteration play out

Ah, the myth of recycling.
I wonder what the next recycling movement will be? Discarded EV batteries? Dead solar panels?
How does this next iteration play out?
- pjc50 11mo agoBoth of those are extremely recyclable and have more manageable separation problems. There's not much of a solar recycling industry because the panels generally have longer lifetimes than the minimum advertised - they last until weather damage. (the thin film ones are a separate category, some of which contain more poisonous materials, but fortunately they were never really economic)
- howmayiannoyyou 11mo agoThere are hauling and processing fees that make this profitable. Its not a linear problem or opportunity.
- irishcoffee 11mo agoRight. It has nothing to do with recycling and everything to do with dumping shit into the waters around India. Solid plan.
