Full Recovery End-of-Life Photovoltaic (LIFE FRELP)
Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2016,
Background
The stock of photovoltaic (PV) panels has been rising sharply in recent years and is currently estimated at some three million tonnes in the EU. However, sustainable solutions for the recovery of PV waste are still not well developed, and if not disposed of correctly, this waste can cause both environmental and human health problems. It is fore ...

Valorisation of incentration residues (VALIRE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
Background
Some 250 million tonnes/yr of municipal solid waste is produced in Europe. Some 20% of this waste is burned in incinerator, creating large volumes of slag and fly ash. Slag is classified as special waste and fly ash is classified as hazardous waste. While some recycling options exist for slag, these are generally low value and no satisfactory t ...

No Vetro in Discarica (No glass in landfill): demonstrating innovative technologies for integral recovery of glass rejects actually landfilled (NOVEDI)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2012,
Background
Glass-based cellular insulation materials were introduced in USA in the 1930s and patented in the 1950s. The glass foams were produced from primary materials and used for creating panels for the thermal insulation of civil buildings. However, this technology was soon abandoned for polymeric materials, which were seen to be less expensive, more ...
