Old wind turbine blades are made of durable materials that can withstand the abrasion caused by hurricanes and weather, time and rainfall. The average wind turbine blade is 50 meters long. In order to discard them, they must be cut into smaller pieces and loaded into the back of a tractor trailer before being transported to a landfill. Wind power is carbon-free, and approximately 85% of turbine components (including steel, copper wire, electronic equipment and gear units) can be recycled or reused. But fiberglass blades are the most difficult material to reuse and recycle. Heavy trucks can only load one blade at a time, which makes transportation costs another obstacle in the process. Scientists are trying to find a better way to separate the resin from the fiber so that the waste of old wind turbine blades can be reused. According to plans developed by Aker Offshore Wind Power, Aker Horizons and the University of Strathclyde, discarded old wind turbine blades can be recycled and reused. Aker Offshore Wind Power, Aker Horizons and the University of Strathclyde have signed a memorandum of understanding to promote the development of a process for the recycling and reuse of used glass fibers "old wind turbine blades", including those provided by the University of Strathclyde A new process developed. Around the world, glass fiber reinforced polymer composites (GRP) used in wind turbine blades are considered a source of pollution that is difficult to decompose. Today, almost all thermoset GRP waste produced in the UK and Europe goes to landfills. Or extract energy from waste. By the middle of 2030, with the end of the service life of wind turbine blades, the amount of GRP waste will increase significantly, and it is likely to become the main source of GRP waste in the UK.
