The method would help find a second life for the plastics that make up the bulk of thousands of turbine blades in the U.S.

Researchers developed a process to recycle glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP), a common material in wind turbine blades.

A new method to recycle wind turbine blades without using harsh chemicals resulted in the recovery of high-strength glass ...

Until recently, wind turbine blades were nearly impossible to recycle. Now, one company is shredding the blades so they can be used as fuel in cement making. But is this the best way to deal with ...

This of course takes into account gentle flows and the soft pitter-patter of rain on stone, not turbine blades passing through the air at many times the terminal velocity of rain drops of up to 9 m/s.

Wind turbines are a fantastic, cheap, renewable source of energy. However, nothing lasts forever, and over time, the blades of wind turbines fatigue and must be replaced. This then raises the ...

Wind turbines in the North Sea face extreme weather conditions that cause erosion to the turbine blades. The PROWESS research, led by TNO, shows that a substantial part of the damage to offshore wind ...
