“…The current PV panels recycling approach is bulk recycling, which includes the separation of frames, junction box, and silicon glass, but it is mostly based on crystalline silicon (c-Si), which has been the dominant technology. Recycling of CIGS panels is underway on a laboratory scale, recovering valuable metals, 57 but still scale-up processes are needed to achieve a circular economy. Alternatively, to alleviate the dependency of indium, reduction and substitutes could be used.…”

“…Firstly, as the global economy continues to expand and industrialization advances, the demand for tin mineral resources is expected to increase [27]. Secondly, with the development of emerging technologies such as electric vehicles, renewable energy, and smart devices, the demand for tin mineral resources is anticipated to further rise [28]. Additionally, China, being the world's largest importer and consumer of tin mineral resources, heavily relies on foreign supply to meet domestic demand, making it a significant driver of global tin mineral resource demand growth.…”
