By 2050, around 80 million metric tons of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules will reach the end of their life globally (according to NREL). 10 million metric tons will be in the United States. But this is not an issue for a far-off future. As we transition to renewable energy, we create a massive volume of waste just from manufacturing and transporting batteries and solar panels. So, what can we do to improve this process now, rather than in 25 years? Kelly Weger, the Director of Sustainability for North America at Qcells takes us through their plan to reduce embodied carbon across the entire supply chain—from manufacturing to end-of-life recycling. Expect to learn:How Qcells is reducing embodied carbon throughout their supply chain, from material sourcing to end-of-life recycling.The strategy behind Qcells and SolarCycle's circular economy superhero partnership.What it will take to create a true circular economy in solar, a vision Qcells is actively working towards.How certification standards like EPEAT validate a company's sustainability claims. How much Qcells has invested in their wafer manufacturing facility in Georgia (it's a massive number). This conversation lays out the proactive steps any organization can take to mitigate environmental impacts. A circular economy is not a far-off pipe dream, but to get there, we'll need to be far more intentional with how we build.If you want to connect with today's guest, you'll find links to his contact info in the show notes on the blog at https://mysuncast.com/suncast-episodes/.SunCast is presented by Sungrow, the world's most bankable inverter brand.SunCast is also supported by Trina.You can learn more about all the sponsors who help make this show free for you at www.mysuncast.com/sponsors.Remember, you can always find resources, learn more about today's guest and explore recommendations, book links, and more than 650 other founder stories and startup advice at www.mysuncast.com.Subscribe to Valence, our weekly Linkedin Newsletter, and learn the elements of compelling storytelling: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/valence-content-that-connects-7145928995363049472/You can connect with me, Nico Johnson, on:Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/nicomeoLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickalus

Michael Kirschner is president of Design Chain Associates, where he helps manufacturers understand and ensure that their products comply with health and environmental regulatory, customer and market requirements. He has broad expertise in areas including semiconductor quality and reliability, software design and development, hardware design, development, and manufacturing as well as manufacturing processes and supplier/supply base management. The background enables him to help manufacturers assess and improve supply chain risk, readiness and performance, and achieve (and go beyond) compliance with product-related health, environmental and social regulations like REACH, RoHS, Circular Economy and EcoDesign, WEEE, Conflict Minerals, California's Proposition 65 and Safer Consumer Products, as well as performance standards like IEEE-1680.n (EPEAT), and customer demands around the world. He speaks with PCEA chief content officer Chelsey Drysdale on the open comment period for RoHS 3, the circular economy, and why environmental and sustainability standards have yet to achieve their goals.

Är Apples produkter miljöbovar eller före sin tid? Är det verkligen smart att lämna ut sitt Apple ID till Ryska hackers? Borde Apple föregå med gott exempel och inte bete sig som ett patenttroll? Allt detta och mycket mer prata vi om i veckans AppSnack! Glöm inte att du kan följa #AppSnack på Twitter @apptvse eller Facebook. Du kan även lyssna på programmet som podcast via iTunes eller ladda ned som mp3. Medverkande i veckans avsnitt är Tobias Hieta, aka @tobiashieta, Jakob Hultman, aka @raekob,  och Michael P.

Men nu kommer förklaringen och vi tackar @svannte för tipset.http://bit.ly/PbRhG5   Veckans SnackisMjukvarupatent borde inte finnas.
