Original Note:
About 95% of a solar panel's value can be recovered through recycling. By 2050, up to 78 million metric tons of solar panels are projected to reach the end of their life. That would constitute a small fraction of global plastic waste even if 0% of the panels got recycled. https://www.irena.org/-/media/Files/IRENA/Agency/Publication/2016/IRENA_IEAPVPS_End-of-Life_Solar_PV_Panels_2016.pdf https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211467X19301245 https://ourworldindata.org/plastic-pollution
