Government prize helps fund novel solutions for recycling old wind turbine materials: 'Capable of advancing the technologies to commercialization'A new U.S. Department of Energy incentive is helping to create a wind turbine recycling industry that conserves rare-earth minerals, is cost-effective, and reduces landfill waste. Wind turbines ...
Wind turbines are probably one of the first things that come to mind when thinking of ‘clean energy’. For decades, we’ve been increasingly relying on their spin for carbon-free electricity.
Conventional recycling techniques don't work on wind turbine blades. Now, an Ohio startup is turning them into park benches and planters. But how much trash will the wind energy industry create?
It's both challenging and crucial to recycle wind turbine blades, because those massive fins are built to weather the elements for decades and don't degrade quickly in landfills. An Australian ...
Old, discarded wind turbine blades don't biodegrade. They do, however, float if sealed. Finnish startup Reverlast is capitalizing on that fact, by taking end-of-use blades and converting them into ...

Tech Xplore on MSNBridging the gap: Reusing wind turbine blades to build bridgesJud Ready first visited Beaverbrook Park for an adopt-a-stream event as a graduate student. When he moved to the northwest ...
According to Renew Economy, a climate and energy news outlet, Acciona has asked Australian companies for more opportunities to grow turbine recycling.
An old wind turbine blade has in a “world first” been turned into high-performance surfboards as the wind industry looks for new ways to recycle what will soon turn into a deluge of decommissioned ...
Energy giant teams up with recycling group Gjenkraft and ski makers EVI on project that turn old wind turbine blades into new skis Environmentally conscious skiers can now hit the slopes on skis ...
