Researchers from the Koszalin University of Technology are working on a method of recycling used wind turbine blades. The material recovered from the rotors can be used to make very strong building boards, components, gas tanks or vehicle equipment.
The university in Koszalin cooperates with the Anmet company from Szprotawa, which implements pioneering methods of managing raw materials from recycling. Scientists are investigating how to manage shredded glass fiber composites and recycled carbon fibers. Promising results have resulted in attempts to produce slabs and beams by combining these fibers with wood waste and resin.
Experiments also concern the use of fragmented propeller fragments in the form of an epoxy-glass material. After combining with chopped wood and resins, the scientists received wood-based boards and beams. Such materials can be used as durable construction material and also as decorative items.
