Wind turbine blades are notoriously difficult to recycle. These companies have found ways to upcycle them into new products instead https://t.co/jPx2fNUk6i via @climate

Glass fibres from wind turbine blades could be used as supplementary cementitious material , new paper : https://t.co/cw6YtQjVW7 - however, extracting fibres from blade GFRP is not yet justified from sustainability and economic standpoints

"There’s not just one way of being sustainable, and so it’s important that we find a pathway to sustainability that is fair and just" - Niall Dunphy, director @ucc_cppu @eriucc

[SEFS@UCC @SEFSUCC]

"There’s a common thread that runs through a lot of our work – we would describe it as the people’s relationship with energy".
Dr Niall Dunphy @ucc_cppu discusses the importance of ‘energy citizenship’ in Independent Thinking magazine. #research #UCCSTEM

Future blades will use recyclable materials but repurposing and reuse are higher on the waste hierarchy than recycling

[ReWindUCC @ReWindUCC]

Re-Wind featured in Composites World. Larry Bank :"Repurposing does require the labor and costs involved with cutting and transporting blades [for shredding, downcycling, pyrolysis]" https://t.co/tYm2Oy5FOB #BladeBridge #BladePole @scienceirel @eriucc
