Processing of Fibreglass Wind Turbine Blade Waste

The wind energy industry is good for the environment, but one aspect is not: lack of recycling of fiberglass from end-of-life wind turbine blades. This projects develops an important step in the recycling process being promoted by FibeCycle. Sorted of recycled fiberglass from the blades is a difficult process that must be performed carefully in order to maximize the benefits from the recycling process. This project scientifically examines and improves this sorting process to maximize recycling output.
