A Recycling Fix to Make Solar Power More Sustainable

Many of us believe any form of renewable energy is green and eco friendly. Sustainability is a concept that goes beyond being eco friendly. In simple terms, a sustainable solution is one which is eco friendly not just today but decades later with large scale use too. Let’s take the example of solar power.

Electricity generated using solar panels appears green at the first glance. It does not cause large scale CO2 emission hence it is eco friendly. But there is a catch. Solar panels have a definite life span. Once they die they generate a lot of solid waste for the landfills, making this green technology unsustainable.

That’s where innovations in recycling technology come into picture.

This article from The Verge talks about one such innovation.
