This review examines the challenges and advancements in photovoltaic (PV) module recycling, highlighting the complexities of recycling due to diverse module compositions, varying recycling processes, and economic barriers. It discusses the need for improved infrastructure, regulatory frameworks, and public awareness to support sustainable practices. The review draws parallels between PV recycling and the recycling of other high-tech products, such as lithium-ion batteries, emphasizing shared challenges in regulatory and technical feasibility. Opportunities for a sustainable future include technological innovation, stakeholder collaboration, and the adoption of circular economy principles. The review also explores the environmental and economic aspects of PV recycling, emphasizing resource conservation, reduction of electronic waste, and the potential for cost savings through material recovery. It outlines the recycling technologies for different PV technologies, including crystalline silicon, thin-film, and alternative technologies, and discusses the challenges in their implementation. The review highlights the importance of standardized recycling processes, cost-effectiveness, and the development of specialized recycling facilities to address the growing demand for PV recycling. It also discusses the challenges in recycling, including the complexity of module compositions, the need for specialized handling of hazardous materials, and the lack of consistent regulations. The review concludes that collaborative efforts among policymakers, industry stakeholders, and the public are essential to overcome these challenges and promote the development of efficient and sustainable PV recycling practices.This review examines the challenges and advancements in photovoltaic (PV) module recycling, highlighting the complexities of recycling due to diverse module compositions, varying recycling processes, and economic barriers.
