REFRESH: From End-of-Use Blades to New Products

This session will present the REFRESH smart, circular concept for enabling improved recycling of glass fiber-reinforced composites from decommissioned wind turbine blades. A dedicated traceability tool and decision-making software will make it possible to select the most sustainable recycling route for each blade.

Learn about the REFRESH innovations:

• Dismantling, shredding, and sorting technologies.
• Customised recycling processes (mechanical, thermo-chemical);
• New products incorporating repurposed parts/recycled materials for use in wind energy and other markets.
• A novel blockchain traceability platform covering the whole value chain.
