Blade2Poly
Development of an energy-efficient recycling process for wind turbine rotor blades for the production of PCR high-performance polymers
The aim of the Blade2Poly project is to develop an energy-efficient recycling process for end-of-life wind turbine rotor blades. Through intelligent material characterisation and sorting, as well as targeted mechanical processing, glass fibres are to be recovered and utilised for the production of high-performance post-consumer recycled plastics (PCR) for injection moulding applications.
Funding: ZIM
Project duration: 06/2026 – 01/2029
ReComCret
Methods for the reuse of end-of-life composite components in the construction industry
Through interdisciplinary collaboration between the fields of wind energy, construction and lightweight construction, ReComCret aims to develop a system-oriented, holistic approach to the production and reuse of end-of-life (EoL) composite components from wind turbine blades (WTB) for applications in the construction industry in the form of glass-fibre-reinforced concrete, and to take this through to a market-ready product. The chosen approach is intended to avoid the environmentally harmful disposal methods of incineration and landfill in future and, instead, to achieve a circular economy approach to the use of fibre-reinforced composites from the wind energy sector.
Funding: SAB/EU
Project duration: 03/2026 – 04/2028
