The rapid rise in the applications of carbon fibre reinforced polymer matrix composites
(CFRPs) is creating a waste recycling challenge. The use of high-performance thermoset …

The outstanding performance of conventional thermosets arising from their covalently cross-
linked networks directly results in a limited recyclability. The available commercial or close …

This paper presents a review of waste disposal methods for fibre reinforced polymer (FRP)
materials. The methods range from waste minimisation, repurposing, reusing, recycling …

Dealing with composite waste from decommissioned wind turbine blades will become a
major issue in the coming years. This study aims to determine the most sustainable disposal …

Wind energy has seen an increase of almost 500 GW of installed wind power over the past
decade. Renewable energy technologies have, over the years, been striving to develop in …

The background to this research is that across the world there will be 200,000 tonnes of
wind turbine blade waste to be disposed of each year from 2033. The purpose of the …

Transformation of waste into resources is an important part of the circular economy.
Nowadays, the recovery of materials in the most effective way is crucial for sustainable …

Wind energy has developed rapidly over the last two decades to become one of the most
promising economical and green sources of renewable energy, responding to concerns …

Composite materials offer many advantages during the use phase, but recovery at the end of
a lifecycle remains a challenge. Structural reuse, where an end of life product is segmented …

Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are widely used in many industries due to their
excellent mechanical and durability properties. This means that an increasing amount of …
