The Circular Economy of Renewables Podcast
The Circular Economy of Renewables podcast explores circular solutions for renewable energy waste materials. This insightful session speaks to the challenge, the opportunity, and how Sunset Renewable Asset Management Inc. and partners are supporting the renewable energy industry to provide common sense solutions to sustainably manage solar and wind assets once they become liabilities.

In a sprawling industrial building in Brooks, Alta., about two hours east of Calgary, is a former pheasant hatchery that’s now stacked waist-high with thousands of dusty, damaged solar panels.
