On Domestic Manufacturing - Part V: Circularity
Manage episode 363761375 series 2817480
We continue to explore domestic manufacturing and the innovative new solutions entrepreneurs are developing to fully leverage opportunities the solar industry offers. In today’s episode, Nick speaks with Suvi Sharma, co-founder & CEO at SOLARCYCLE — the country’s most advanced solar panel recycling solution, about the need to produce the parts and raw materials we need right here in the United States. Approaching solar projects through a circular lens helps reduce reliance on new mining of precious materials like silver and copper by enabling us to mine those materials from solar panels that have reached their end of useful life. But recycling end-of-life panels can provide more than a new source for materials. It can also provide a valuable source for new domestic factories and jobs. Listen in to this episode to learn how.
