India Faces Clean Energy Waste Challenge

Efforts to recycle and repurpose renewable energy components are gaining traction in India.

India is grappling with the potential waste from increased use of solar panels, wind turbines, and electric vehicle batteries.
Innovative projects, like those using refurbished EV batteries to power rural businesses, are emerging to address these challenges.
Recycling and repurposing initiatives could reduce waste and decrease dependency on imported critical minerals.
The Indian government has included clean energy components in electronic waste regulations, but clearer recycling guidelines are needed.
Industry experts see significant job creation potential in the clean energy recycling sector if comprehensive policies are implemented.
