Abstract :
For thin film photovoltaic waste we finished piloting our new universal recycling procedure. We obtained a very high level quality of cullet, usable demonstrably for float glass production. But on the other hand we yielded a big amount of not broken slices. Our interest was focused on alternative further uses.
