  • The document outlines the legal obligations for solar PV producers in South Africa under Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations and a landfill ban on e-waste. It forecasts a significant increase in decommissioned solar PV modules starting in 2033, creating a long-term opportunity for reuse, refurbishment, and material recovery industries. While current e-waste aggregators exist, the report notes a lack of local closed-loop recycling for glass and solar cells, meaning recovered materials are currently exported.
