Summer is here, but circularity never takes a holiday☀️

In #BLADE2CIRC, our partners across Europe are developing innovative solutions to recover value from end-of-life wind turbine blades and support a circular wind energy sector.

Have a great summer!

We keep advancing research to improve circularity in wind turbine blades!

KTH is developing end-of-life scenarios and system dynamics models to understand value chains and guide future blade pathways 👣

Stakeholder input is helping us refine the model.

Not all wind energy stories end when the blades stop turning🔄

That’s where #BLADE2CIRC comes in, rethinking what comes next through materials science, innovation & circular economy.

Windy tells us all about it!!💬

Making wind turbine blades more sustainable also means improving the materials behind them⚙️

Within #BLADE2CIRC, @Specific Polymers is developing a bio-based, bisphenol-free adhesive for blades.

Tests by #ITA show performance on par with fossil-based alternatives.

What does “ecodesign” really mean? ⚙️

It means integrating circularity from the start, considering the full lifecycle of a product.

In wind turbine blades, it’s about going beyond performance and cost.

A shift toward long-term sustainability.

Innovation alone isn’t enough

To create real impact in wind energy, scalability is key🔩

MOSES plays a crucial role by scaling up advanced resins and materials, helping turn sustainable research into validated, industry-ready solutions for a more circular future..

Europe is rethinking waste♻️

Industrial materials used in renewables & manufacturing must have more than one life. Producing green energy is just the start, managing materials responsibly is the next step.
