Global Efforts Advance Recycling of Retired Wind Turbine Blades Amid Industry Growth
Since 2021, efforts to recycle retired wind turbine blades have advanced, with Denmark's DecomBlades project recovering 40 tonnes of glass fibre used in new blades for Taiwan's offshore wind farms. Separately, Australian researchers have modelled phased recycling centres to manage future blade waste amid growing wind power capacity. Both initiatives address challenges posed by composite materials in blades, aiming to support circular solutions as global wind energy expands and turbine components reach end-of-life.
