Abstract
⺠We estimated future recycling flows of tellurium from CdTe-PV waste. ⺠At present, overspray from CdTe deposition is the largest waste stream. ⺠The Te demand, after peaking around 2020, is expected to decline. ⺠Even at peak times a supply shortage of Te is implausible. ⺠The CdTe-PV industry could rely on Te from recycled end-of-life modules by 2038.
