State-of-the-art circular economy practices for end-of-life wind turbine blades for use in the construction industry

Sustainable Production and Consumption, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 47, P. 17 - 36

Published: March 22, 2024

The transition towards carbon neutrality by 2050 in the European Union and subsequent increase of windpower is anticipated to lead a significant fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) waste generated end-of-life (EoL) wind turbine blades (WTBs). Most this being landfilled due legislative material challenges, lack sustainable materials management strategies. In study, we reviewed status quo EoL WTB for their constituent materials, expected quantities per country, treatment technologies, supply chain, circular options EoL. We proposed framework incorporating economy (CE) principles WTBs assessed readiness industry decommissioning circularity. Using circularity ladder concept, categorized prevention strategies, secondary uses waste. questioned suitability construction cross-sectoral CE looked into emerging innovations. Circular energy can be developed synergy as part transitions find innovative improve WTBs. results, however, highlight knowledge experience practices. Effective handling requires an integrative approach where technological development economic aspects are based on location streams flows. Environmental factors largely influence these aspects. Due intricacy phase, should emphasize role chain responsibility collaboration along manufacturing-collection-demolition continuum, reflecting whole lifecycle
