Establishes a photovoltaic module stewardship and takeback program in Washington.
The bill mandates that manufacturers of photovoltaic modules submit a stewardship plan to the Department of Ecology for approval. The plan must detail how the manufacturer will finance the takeback and recycling system, including a funding mechanism to cover collection, management, and recycling costs. Manufacturers can either submit an individual plan or participate in a national program if it meets state requirements. The plan must also describe how hazardous substances will be minimized and valuable materials recovered.
