Offshore wind firm to work with researchers on recycling glass fibers to tackle blade waste

Posted in sustainability

According to the university, the system focuses on the “thermal recovery and post-treatment of glass fibres” from glass-reinforced polymer composite scrap, with the end result “near-virgin quality glass fibres.” The idea is that, using this system, the composite waste could be re-used.


The aim is to scale-up and commercialize a process developed by team at the University of Strathclyde, in Scotland.
