"Standardization as a Tool for Promoting Innovation and Commercialization of a Circular Economy for PV Waste - the Example of the European H2020 Project CABRISS";
Talk: MIPRO 2018, Opatija/Croatia; 05-21-2018 - 05-25-2018; in: "41°", (2018), 122 - 127.

Focus of the research efforts is using Si waste
for the high throughput, cost-effective manufacturing of
hybrid Si based solar cells. The European H2020 project
CABRISS ("Implementation of a circular economy based on
recycled, reused and recovered Indium, Silicon and Silver
materials for photovoltaic and other applications")
http://www.spire2030.eu/cabriss demonstrates the re-
usability and recyclability of end-of-life PV materials by
associating together different sectors like the powder
metallurgy (fabrication of Si powder based low cost
substrate), the PV industry (innovative PV cells) and the
industry of recycling (hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy)
with a common aim: making use of recycled waste materials
(Si, In and Ag). Proactive involvement in European
standardization guarantees compatibility with the EU´s
WEEE directive. CABRISS proactively cooperates with
SEMI´s "TC Photovoltaics", CENELEC´s CLC/TC 111X
"Environment" and CLC/TC 10 "Energy-related Products".
Thus, the consortium contributes to the interactions and
benefits between research and standardization: raising
awareness and fully exploiting the role of standards in order
to increase the competitiveness of the EU.
