A video of our presentation at JEC World 2025, REFRESH: from end-of-use blades to new products, is now available to watch.

Project coordinator Daniel Grisenti of RINA Consulting gave two presentations during the event, on 4th and 6th March, as part of the Research & Innovation Projects programme.

The session presented the REFRESH smart, circular concept for enabling improved recycling of glass fibre-reinforced composites from decommissioned wind turbine blades. It also introduced the project’s dedicated traceability tool and decision-making software, which will make it possible to select the most sustainable recycling route for each blade.

WATCH THE VIDEO on JEC Composites Web TV to learn about the REFRESH innovations:

  • 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.

You can also download a pdf file of the presentation from the Publications page.
