Wind Turbine Blade Circularity

This report has been jointly prepared by WindEurope, Cefic and EuCIA through a collaborative cross sector platform on wind turbine blade recycling. Notably, the report:

• describes wind turbine blade structure and material composition
• highlights the expected volumes of composite waste, including wind turbine blade waste
• maps the existing regulations governing composite waste in Europe
• describes the existing recycling and recovery technologies for treating composite waste as well as innovative applications for using composite waste
• provides recommendations for research and innovation to further enhance the circularity of wind turbine blades and design for recycling
