The Faces of RETRIEVE: Ässia Boukhatmi on Digital Tools for Circular Solar
Meet Ässia Boukhatmi, Doctoral Researcher at Berner Fachhochschule BFH and one of the women shaping the RETRIEVE project.
In this short interview, Ässia shares her role in developing RETRIEVE’s digital platform and Digital Product Passport (DPP)—key tools for improving data traceability and enabling more efficient recycling of photovoltaic (PV) panels across Europe.
🎯 “It’s not only about reducing waste—it’s also about recycling efficiently,” she says. RETRIEVE is helping close the loop in the PV industry by combining innovation, data, and collaboration across the value chain.
🔍 Learn how digital technologies are paving the way for a circular future in solar—and why a more sustainable approach to PV waste is essential to the green transition.
📌 This video is part of our ongoing “Faces of RETRIEVE” series, spotlighting the experts behind the project and celebrating women in science and clean energy.
