China wont have any real issue until 2030, because most of the energy is generated by Coal Power.
They have a higher wind and solar share than the US, the growth rate is more than double Europe, and the absolute total is growing faster than both combined.
No significant solar installation is older than about 20 years though (and most wind is also new) so 2030 still leaves plenty of time before there's much of anything to recycle.
