As part of the BLADE2CIRC project, our partners at the University of Limerick, represented by Professor Maurice N Collins and Dr Kashif Bangash, attended the International Conference on Manufacturing of Advanced Composites (ICMAC) 2025 in Coventry.
At BIOTRANS 2025, EvoEnzyme will present these promising findings, highlighting their potential to revolutionise the recycling process for wind turbine blades.
Aitiip’s presence at JEC World 2025 offered a unique platform to showcase the significant progress made within Blade2Circ.
We are dedicated to improving the sustainability of wind energy systems throughout their life cycle. By utilizing our innovative bio-based resin and lignin fibres during the construction phase, we will enhance both repairability and recyclability while maintaining high performance. A key partner in achieving this goal is EireComposites.
At BLADE2CIRC, we are committed to tackling the challenges of sustainability and recyclability in composite materials. One of our key collaborators, Centexbel, plays a crucial role in advancing this mission by bringing decades of expertise in textiles and plastics to the table.
In BLADE2CIRC, to enhance the sustainability and recyclability of wind turbine blades, SPECIFIC POLYMERS plays a pivotal role. Their innovations in bio-based materials and advanced recycling technologies are actively shaping the future of wind energy.
The BLADE2CIRC project is tackling this challenge head-on, and our partner, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, is driving innovation to redefine end-of-life (EoL) strategies for wind turbine blades.
As the project progresses, new developments and key milestones will continue to emerge, driven by the collaborative efforts of all partners. In this post you get to know the role of Incotec.
Blade2Circ aims to improve wind turbine recyclability by designing components that facilitate blade dismantling, such as a reversible adhesive, as well as developing new chemical and enzymatic degradation processes to address resin end of life.
