As the solar photovoltaic market booms, so will the volume of photovoltaic (PV) systems entering the waste stream. The same is forecast for lithium-ion batteries from electric vehicles, which at the end of their automotive life can be given a second life by serving as stationary energy storage units for renewable energy sources, including solar PV....
By means of a system dynamics computer simulation model, this paper analyzes the systemic effects of combining multiple product design and business model strategies for slowing and closing resource loops in a circular economy. In the model, green (i.e., recycled) and brown (i.e., traditional linear) products, as well as products under a PSS model,...
