Transition support tools
Find the best tools for transitioning to circular business models
Welcome to the
Circular Wind Knowlegde Hub
On this platform you can gain knowledge on how to transition towards a circular wind industry
Whether you work in business, policy or academics; wheter you work on wind energy production, industrial recycling, composite manufacturing, turbine construction or decomissioning; this is the platform where you can find new partners, state of the art innovations and smart tools that will help you in your next steps in contributing to a 100% circular European wind industry.
The platform consists of three main components: a Matchmaking Tool, which you can use to find stakeholders in the European wind turbine recycling sector; a database with Recycling Technologies , to showcase the latest technological innovations in the circular wind industry; and an overview of Transition Support Tools , that will help you transition towards circular business models by sharing best practices, decission support tools, cost-benefit assessments and more.
This digital platform is part of EoLO-HUBs , a HORIZON project, funded by the European Union. The aim of EoLO-HUBS is to contribute to a 100% circular wind industry by developing new technologies for decommissioning and recycling wind turbine blades and by creating this knowledge hub, sharing the lessons and knowledge and by helping to create regional supply chains that focus on wind turbine recycling. EoLO-HUBS consists of 18 partners (NL, GB, DU, SP, FR, DE, IT) that work together on scientific research, technological innovation, building an open network and sharing information around Wind Turbine Blade (WTB) Recycling.
Recycling Technologies
On this page you can find an overview of state of the art technologies and innovations regarding the recycling of wind turbine blades. Learn more about smart decommissioning by inspecting, cutting and shredding blades; recovering carbon and glass fibres through low carbon pyrolysis and green solvolysis; or enhancing recovered fiber material in order to make them suitable for re-use.
