3 1) Photolife Project Presentation The Photolife Project "Process and automated pilot plant for simultaneous and integral recycling of different kinds of photovoltaic panels" (June August 2017) is a project co-funded by the European Community, with the LIFE+ call for the demonstration of the technical and economic feasibility and environmental benefits of recycling glass and metals by treating different types of photovoltaic panels. The process has been patented under the European Patent. Project AIM: recovery of glass and main values from end of life Photovoltaic panels. Project SCOPE: construction of a mobile unit (200 ton/y) for chemical treatment of EOL PV panels experimentation of the innovative process for the full recovery of different kind of PVP
4 The project activities are as follows: 1) Processing of existing data (analysis of laboratory results; estimated market trend) 1) Photolife Project Presentation: ACTIONS 2) Preliminary economic feasibility analysis 3) Recovery of photovoltaic panels and their characterization (retrieval and classification of PVP, characterization of the recovered panel) 4) Design and implementation of the process and pilot plant 5) Pilot plant experiments 6) Economic analysis 7) Tests on a laboratory scale with innovative photovoltaic panels CIS and CIGS 8) Monitoring phase (environmental impact assessment of the project; LCA) Lab test Demonstration Plant Design Plant construction
5 1) Photolife Project Presentation: PARTNESHIP Eco Recycling srl: spin off of the University Sapienza of Rome, which operates mainly in the field of environmentally sustainable processes. The spin off activities mainly concern: development of innovative processes for the recovery of metals from primary and secondary raw materials; process and plant engineering; support for start-up, management and training of personnel; chemical analyzes for environmental monitoring and process optimization. HTR research center: founded in 2007, it puts together some Italian universities and research centers (such as the Institute of Environmental Geology and Geo-Engineering, Rome) involved in developing innovative technologies for the treatment of secondary raw materials and energy recovery. Eco Power srl: founded in 2007 and is currently part of a group operating in the field of renewable energy boasting an experience of about 10 MW of photovoltaic installations, consultancy and equipment supplier specifications. Green Engineering srl: engineering company founded in 2006 with the aim of providing sustainable solutions from an environmental point of view to energy problems. The company's core business is the design and industrial development aimed at energy saving.

8 2) Overview of PVP: EU LEGISLATION PV panel waste classification follows the basic principles of waste classification: from a regulatory point of view, PV panel waste still largely falls under the general waste classification. EUROPE: PV panels are defined as e-waste in the WEEE Directive in addition to other related waste legislation (e.g. Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC) REF: End of Life Management - Solar Photovoltaic Panel IRENA, IEA-PVPS, 2016 The original WEEE Directive (Directive 2002/96/ EC) was revised (2012/19/ EU): for the first time it included specifics on end-of life management of PV panels. Annual collection and recovery targets (mass %) under the WEEE Directive
