PhotoLife (LIFE13 ENV/IT/001033) is an EU LIFE+ co-funded project with the aim of recovery of glass and main values from end life Photovoltaic panels. The scope of the project is the construction of a pilot plant and the experimentation of the innovative process for the full recovery of different kind of PV panels. Eco Recycling is Coordinator of the project, the designer and the builder of the pilot plant. The project started on 1 June 2014 and it ended on 31 August 2017.
The third press release of the Photolife project was made on the "Campo De' Fiori" magazine. CAMPO DE' FIORI is a monthly papaer with the newspapaer office in Civita Castellana (VT, Italy), where the Photolife Prototype is located.
