Opportunities for waste management from solar and wind installations
The main observation is that each region is moving forward at its own pace.
In Europe, strict regulatory frameworks already govern photovoltaics, notably through the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive. In contrast, some regions are only in the early stages.
For wind power, current regulations remain more heterogeneous and future legislative evolutions will be decisive to anticipate obligations, costs, and opportunities.
In order to provide stakeholders with a clear and operational vision, we have identified and analyzed existing regulations by country and by type of installation:
