Recycling of wind turbine blades is an important element for ensuring the sustainability of
wind turbines. In this article, technologies of recycling of wind turbine blades (for currently …

Thermoplastic resin systems have long been discussed for use in large-scale composite
parts but have yet to be exploited by the energy industry. The use of these resins versus their …

Various scenarios of end-of-life management of wind turbine blades are reviewed.“Reactive”
strategies, designed to deal with already available, ageing turbines, installed in the 2000s …

The 3R (reuse, recycling, and recovery) waste management of wind turbine blades (WTBs)
is becoming a popular subject, since it has a great practical significance in the disposal of …

Increasing demand for lightweight materials is a major driving force for the steady growth of
the continuous fibre-reinforced polymer composite industry. In recent years, strict global …

Wind energy technologies have seen a rapid decline in costs in the last two decades, but the
drivers for these cost reductions are poorly understood. This paper addresses this …

Reactive infusible thermoplastics have the potential to be advantageous for wind turbine
blade composites because they are recyclable at end of life, can have reduced …

Is predicted that around 42 million tonnes of composite waste from wind turbine blades will
need to be recycled annually worldwide by 2050. This poses a potential environmental crisis …

The issue of large-scale retirements of renewable energy modules has attracted
considerable attention from governments and the public worldwide. Using the Chinese wind …
