What happened: A study warns that India could produce more than 11 million tonnes of solar panel waste by 2047 without improved recycling efforts.
Why it matters:
- The growing volume of solar waste poses environmental and disposal challenges.
- Effective recycling is crucial for sustainable energy development and reducing pollution.
MNN Take: India's rapid expansion of solar energy is positive for clean power, but managing the resulting waste is essential to avoid long-term environmental harm.
