Process and automated pilot plant for simultaneous and integral recycling of different kinds of photovoltaic panels (PHOTOLIFE)
Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2017,
...eated and appropriately disposed of in Europe.
The European Commission included end-of-life photovoltaic panels in the WEEE Directive, which promotes the development of innovative processes for the recovery of secondary raw materials such as glass, plastics and metals. The recycling sector must now respond to the challenges and opportunities presented by this relatively new waste stream.

Innovative Hydrometallurgical Processes to recover Metals from WEEE including lamps and batteries - Demonstration (HYDROWEEE DEMO)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2017,
...tor to bigger companies is very visible. Multinational, multi-sector companies are buying several smaller recyclers every year.Hence the previous project HydroWEEE (03/2009–02/2012) dealt with the recovery of rare and precious metals from WEEE. The idea has been to develop a mobile plant using hydrometallurgical processes to extract metals like yttrium, indium, lithium, cobalt, zinc, copper, gold, ...

...ral smaller recyclers every year. This trend is caused by 2 factors: • Many countries transposed the WEEE- and Battery Directives in a way relying heavily on collective systems. • Also the big secondary raw material processors are more interested in few big contracts instead of a lot of small contracts as this brings down their administrative costs. Therefore it is close to impossible to sell ma ...
