This study was commissioned by BSW/EPIA and funded by the BMU (grant number 03MAP092), BSW, EPIA and PV CYCLE. Against the backdrop of a fast growing number of PV-installations and the voluntary committment of the PV-Industry to create a sustainable way of managing PV-waste, this study aims to elaborate the recommendations for a viable take-back and recovery scheme for photovoltaic modules.
