# PV ICE: PV in the Circular Economy, a Dynamic Energy and Materials TOOL
# PV ICE: PV in the Circular Economy, a Dynamic Energy and Materials Tool

This open-source tool explores the effects of Circular Economy (CE) pathways for photovoltaic (PV) materials. It can be used to quantify and assign a value framework to CE efforts including re-design, reduction, replacement, reuse, recycling, and lifetime and reliability improvements across the PV value chain. PV ICE enables tradeoff analysis through scenario comparisons, and is highly customizable through user inputs such as deployment schedules, module properties and component materials, and CE pathways.
