The consumption of glass is steadily increasing worldwide, resulting in a significant amount of waste. Current solutions for glass waste, such as glass cullet and glass fiber, often produce macro-sized products and lack a sustainable reuse solution. Similarly, the utilization of silicon from PV panels lacks a sustainable approach. nanoIFP addresses these issues by co-destructively treating waste glass and glass-like materials, equalizing particle sizes, and generating marketable products with defined commercial purposes. The system also separates silicon for potential reuse, contributing to resource efficiency and waste reduction.
