The rapid growth of photovoltaic (PV) technology has led to increased PV panel waste, posing environmental and economic challenges.

Reusing glass from decommissioned panels in cementitious materials offers a promising solution.

This review, titled: 'Sustainable Management of Photovoltaic Waste Through Recycling and Material Use in the Construction Industry', explores the impact of PV glass waste on the mechanical, thermal, and durability properties of cement, examining methods like crushing and grinding to process the waste. It highlights improvements in strength, workability, and setting time.

The integration of PV glass waste can reduce carbon footprints, enhance durability, and promote sustainability.

The review emphasises the need for standardised recycling methods and further research to optimise this approach for green building and a circular economy.
