Circular applications through selection strategies (CATSS)

A methodology for identifying reuse applications for end-of-life wind turbine blades

Wind turbines are crucial for the energy transition, but their end-of-life treatment presents a challenge. Most wind turbine blades, made from composites, are currently sent for disposal or recycled through methods that degrade the value of the material. Structural reuse through ...
Plant root growth can be altered by introducing obstacles in the path of growth. This principle is used in design to produce planar grid structures composed of interweaving roots. The Engineered Plant Root Materials (EPRMs) grown with this method have the potential to serve as en ...

More and more wind turbines are erecting in the landscape, stemming from the need for sustainable energy. However, less attention is paid to the secondary effects of these wind turbines, more specifically, the wind turbine blades. Wind turbine blades are made of composite materia ...
