"Standardization as a Tool for Promoting Innovation - the example of the H2020 Project CABRISS";
Poster: ENTRENOVA, Split, Kroatien; 09-06-2018 - 09-08-2018; in: "Book of abstracts oft the ENTRENOVA ´18 - Enterprise Research Innovation Conference", IRENET, Zagreb, Croatia, Vol. 4/ No. 1 (2018), ISSN: 1849-7969; 74.

Aiming to enhance Europe's competitiveness through promotion of innovation,
bridges between research and standardization were built within the last years. The
H2020 project CABRISS http://www.spire2030.eu/cabriss demonstrates the re-usability
and recyclability of end-of-life PV materials. CABRISS focuses on collection, de-
pollution and treatment technologies for end-of-life PV as prerequisite for recovery
and recycling. The consortium associates 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). Proactive involvement of CABRISS 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". The CEN/CENELEC 45550 to 45559 series
cover the aspects of recyclability, product durability, reparability, reusability,
recycled content, ability to remanufacture, and product lifespan. Drafts of standard
documents were made accessible to all CABRISS´ partner institutions for
commenting.
