#composites, #sustainability, #recycling, #carbonfiber, #thermolysis, #solvolysis Last week I went through the state of the art in wind turbine blade recycling, which could alternatively have been titled “state of the art in glass fiber recycling” because most of the wind turbine blades that have come to the end of their useful life or are nearing their demise are primarily made of glass fiber composites.  In some of the larger blades, there is a carbon fiber spar cap that I

#composites, #recycling, #windenergy, #thermolysis, #solvolysis, #pyrolysis, #sustainability I have talked about this repeatedly by giving examples of companies and organizations, some largely funded and supported by governments, in previous posts.  This week, I thought I would provide a summary of what I see as the State of the Art in recycling wind turbine blades here in the US and in the EU and UK.  A lot has happened in the last couple of years, and some companies are not

#String_and_Glue, #Composites, #Recycling, #Pyrolysis, #Solvolysis Yes, I’m going to talk a bit more about sustainability of composites...
