What happens to a wind turbine blade when it reaches the end of its working life? The EU-funded REWIND project is developing technologies to dismantle, repurpose and recycle end-of-life wind turbine blades, with the aim of increasing their circularity and expanding the industrial applications of recovered composite materials.
REWIND officially began on May 1, 2024, and is scheduled to run until April 30, 2028. The project is funded under the EU's Horizon Europe programme and has an EU contribution of nearly €4 million.
