Recycling End of Life Wind Turbine Blades

Home: Welcome

Project Overview

Wind energy has seen exponential growth since the implementation of the first industrial wind farm in the 1980s. However, due its incredible expansion the problem of waste disposal is an issue that needs to be addressed. Approximately 90% of the wind turbine is recyclable, the remaining 10% comes from the wind turbine blade that gets disposed in landfills, which is not a sustainable solution and will become a major issue in the coming years.
