A device for recycling single-use containers, the device comprises a mechanical component to securely combine a plurality of single-use containers. In some embodiments, device may be a cable fastener that threads through a plurality of single-use containers. In other embodiments, device may be a strap that holds a plurality of single-use containers together through compression. In other embodiments, device may be a flexible container that gathers a plurality of single-use containers.

Glass may be recovered from a used solar module through heating and the application of stress (such as mechanical stress). One or more of ?junction box removal, ?cable removal, and/or ?deframing may result in a used solar module comprising glass adhered to a laminate including polymer and a photovoltaic (PV) material such as crystalline silicon. Heat can be applied via conduction, convection and/or radiation to achieve removal of glass. Applied radiation of specific wavelengths may be absorbed by material(s) of interest (e.g., polymer encapsulant) but not by others (e.g., the glass). Following and/or concurrent with the heating, the module may be subject to stress to allow the glass to detach (e.g., in the form of cullets) from the laminate. One approach may be to bend the glass-laminate combination. This bending effectively creates enough stress for the cullets to detach and separate (e.g., fall under the force of gravity).

A system and process to achieve significantly improved separation of organics or liquid from waste material. One example of a process for separating organics and liquids from waste material may comprise the steps of: compacting waste material such that organics or liquids are separated from the waste material; collecting the separated organics or liquids; and screening the waste material with a screen such that the waste material is adapted to be separated into undersized waste material and oversized waste material of the screen. A further example of the process may comprise the additional step of combining the separated organics or liquids with the undersized waste material of said screen to form a slurry. A related system is also included. Other variations of a process and system are also described that may include any of the aforementioned features and advantages.
