Reuse of end-of-life rotor blade materials from the wind energy sector
The project focuses on developing a circular material cycle for the reuse of end-of-life (EoL) rotor blade materials from the wind energy sector. By closely linking the dismantling, classification and integration of end-of-life components into new products, an efficient reuse cascade model is being developed. Digital solutions such as the Digital Product Passport play a central role in this process, ensuring the precise classification and traceability of materials throughout their entire life cycle.

RecyRotor
Development of a scanning and separation process for the recycling of wind turbine rotor blade structures through repurposing
The aim of the RecyRotor project is to develop mobile analytical equipment and a process chain for the secondary recycling of rotor blades from wind turbines once their primary service life has come to an end. To this end, HTWK will investigate damage patterns in end-of-life (EoL) rotor blades in relation to the load history of the components, using mechanical and optical methods.

EuReCOMP
European recycling and circularity in large composite components
EUReCOMP aims to provide sustainable methods for the recycling and reuse of composite materials derived from components used in various sectors, such as the aerospace and wind energy industries. The key approaches to achieving this in line with a sustainable circular economy are: i) the repair, reuse and redesign of components from end-of-life mass-produced products, and ii) the recycling and recovery of the materials used in these components. This reduces the volume of waste and enables the transformation of these materials into high value-added products.

Project duration: 04/2022 – 03/2026
