(S5E12) How Circular Is the UK Solar Industry?

View show details

In this episode, we zoom in on the UK solar market and ask a simple question with big implications: as solar scales fast, is it scaling sustainably? We break down what “circularity” actually means in a solar context, from design choices and maintenance, to decommissioning, reuse, and high-value recycling, so the industry can move beyond the take-make-dispose model.

We also explore what’s at stake for the UK. With ambitions to ramp up deployment, the key challenge is making circular frameworks mature as quickly as the market, so we don’t solve one problem while creating another.
