The REFRESH presentations
Project coordinator Daniel Grisenti of RINA Consulting delivered the presentation REFRESH: from end-of-use blades to new products on 4th and 6th March.
The sessions presented the REFRESH smart, circular concept for enabling improved recycling of glass fibre-reinforced composites from decommissioned wind turbine blades. The REFRESH value chain and innovations were discussed, including:
- Dismantling, shredding, and sorting technologies.
- Customised recycling processes (mechanical, thermo-chemical);
- New products incorporating repurposed parts/recycled materials for use in wind energy and other markets.
- A novel blockchain traceability platform covering the whole value chain.
