The solar panels will generate around 100,000 tonnes of waste at the end of their life, according to a study led by the University of South Australia. Most solar panels are expected to last around 25 to 30 years before their energy-generation capacity declines significantly. In a new paper, the researchers called for incentives for producers to design solar panels that can be more easily recycled if they are damaged or out of warranty.

We’ve all heard the buzzwords to describe new supply chain trends: resiliency, sustainability, AI, machine learning. But what do these really mean today? Over the past few years, manufacturing has had to adapt to and overcome a wide variety of supply chain trends and disruptions to stay as stable as possible. Stability has become key in this post-COVID world, and will remain key moving forward.

In a world where new technology keeps popping up out of nowhere, it's easy to think that this new tech can solve any and all your manufacturing challenges. This is a dangerous assumption because thoughtless reliance on technology can become a liability. Yes, tech does makes work easier and faster, but we've learned in recent decades that projects can still fail if the new technology being used doesn't bring manufacturing, business, and go-to-market strategies together.
