"A Circular Economy for Photovoltaic Waste - the Vision of the European Project CABRISS";
Talk: mipro 2017, Opatja, Kroatien; 05-22-2017 - 05-26-2017; in: "mipro2017 proceedings", (2017), ISSN: 1847-3946; 154 - 159.



English abstract:
Growing Photovoltaic (PV) panel waste
causes a new environmental challenge, but on the
other hand opportunities to create value and new
economic paths. The main vision of the European
project CABRISS "Implementation of a circular
economy based on recycling, reused and recovered
indium, silicon and silver materials for photovoltaic
and other applications" is to develop a circular
economy mainly for the photovoltaic, but also for
electronic and glass industry. CABRISS bundles the
efforts of 16 European companies and research
institutions. The project consists in the development
of: (i) recycling technologies to recover In, Ag and Si
for the sustainable PV technology and other
applications; (ii) a solar cell processing roadmap,
which will use Si waste for the high throughput, costeffective
manufacturing of hybrid Si based solar cells
and will demonstrate the possibility for the reusability
and recyclability at the end of life of key PV
materials. From the begin the CABRISS consortium
decided to have all results in accordance with valid
European standards to ease access to market.
