At the workshop organised by Swiss PV Circle on the reuse of photovoltaic modules (PV modules), experts from Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy, Austria, the UK and the Netherlands discussed possible sources of end-of-life PV modules as well as sales markets and customers.

Roger Nyffenegger, PhD student at the Bern University of Applied Sciences and the University of Maastricht, presented partial results from the Swiss PV Circle project at this year's NBM conference. Based on the pilots carried out in Swiss PV Circle, findings on the feasibility, desirability, profitability and recyclability of business models for the reuse of photovoltaic modules were presented, put into context and discussed with the audience consisting of researchers and industry representatives.

Electronics Goes Green 2024+ is an important meeting of researchers, policy makers and business players from the electronics and ICT industries. Its aim is to promote sustainability in these industries. As part of the Swiss PV Circle, Ässia Boukhatmi from Bern University of Applied Sciences presented the topic "ML-based End-of-Life Forecasting for Reuse of PV Modules in Switzerland" to an interested international audience.

The objective of ensuring a comprehensive take-back and recycling system for photovoltaic modules in Switzerland and continuing to promote the circular economy in the solar industry in a targeted manner can only be achieved together with partners.
