Circularity in renewable energy is recognized as an important intervention to address the challenges related to the concentration of resources in certain geographies, their sustainable use through the value chain from extraction to end-of-life and even second life and the potential hazards the waste poses on people and the planet. While there is innovation, the pace at which these are being identified, adopted and rolled out needs to keep up with the rapid technological advancements in renewable energy.   Join us at the #ResponsibleRESummit where we delve deeper into the evolving requirements and guidance from leading investors and lenders. Gain insights into what might be the next steps for renewable energy.
