Use advice for data set When utilizing the life cycle assessment data of this industrial process, it is critical to consider the average values provided from the different sources for particular materials to ensure accurate representation of the multi-Si PV module recycling process. Methodological attention should be given to the inclusion of data from various Environmental Impact Assessment Statements (EIAS) and industry reports to capture the full scope of material inventory from different PV enterprises. This data should be integrated carefully into the broader context of PV recycling and environmental sustainability assessments.

Data set use approval

General comment The edge of aluminum frame is first cut at the recycling process. Plastic parts separated fromcables are afterwards treated. The waste panels without frameand cable are introduced into a glass separation process.

Technical purpose The mentioned industrial process is intended for the recycling of end-of-life photovoltaic (PV) modules. Specifically, it involves the mechanical disassembly of multi-Si PV components, where the aluminum frames are cut, plastic parts from cables are separated for further processing, and the remaining waste panels are subjected to glass separation. This process is essential for material recovery and supports the sustainable end-of-life management of photovoltaic systems, ultimately serving the growing renewable energy industry.
