We can find an illustration of extended producer responsibility in the related article, which shows us what to do at the end of the life cycle of solar panels.
A lot of people don’t think about the e-waste those photovoltaic systems generate, nevertheless this problem can be solved by creating some well organized companies which are aimed at the recycling of the materials used in the panels. Jennifer Woolwich founded her company PV Recycling which main objective is the recycling of solar panels. She works as an independent third party and guarantees that intellectual property of the producers won’t be put at risk. There are, however, companies such as Solarworld and Firstsolar who recycle their own products, more specific the panels they sold in the past.
Also the authorities contribute to a well organized industry for the recycling of photovoltaic systems. The government of the United States and the European Union are setting up a jurisdiction about the materials used in solar panels which will avoid hazardous waste disposed of in landfills.
