ISA Programme
Solar PV and Battery Waste Management
To facilitate the development of a sustainable waste management ecosystem in Member Countries by reducing solar and battery waste, promoting component reuse, and enabling efficient recycling practices for solar and battery systems.
Our Approach
Beyond Solar Deployment
Our approach involves supporting Member Countries in establishing eco-design rules, green procurement regulations, and monitoring systems. Additionally, we develop frameworks for waste collection and recycling and identify partners and business models to facilitate these processes. Moreover, we focus on identifying a pipeline of projects and corresponding business models to advance our goals further.

Impact, Outcomes & Success Stories
Several initiatives are currently underway, including developing a copper strategy tailored for South Asia and formulating standard methodologies and guidelines for recycling solar batteries. Additionally, numerous collaborative efforts with Member Countries are in progress, aimed at achieving various goals and objectives.
Training, Capacity Building and Knowledge Sharing
ISA conducted a comprehensive study under the ISA-UNEP project focusing on the Global Solar and Battery Waste Recycling Landscape. Additionally, in CY23, the ISA organized a consultation with the Corporate Advisory Group specifically addressing Solar PV Recycling. To facilitate this, the ISA secretariat distributed a survey among relevant stakeholders to gather their insights. This survey is accessible on the ISA website, ensuring transparency and broad participation in shaping initiatives related to solar energy recycling.
