When wind parks are decommissioned or repowered, bulky GFRP blades must be removed. Several options are available to deal with end-of-life GFRP including resale, repurposing, re-use, materials recovery, downcycling incineration or landfill. The workshop will explore the social, environmental and economic aspects of these options through group exercises.
