•There is 600 GW of wind capacity deployed around the world. A large number of wind turbines will be decommissioned in the coming decades
•This will lead to a large volume of composite material waste from end-of-life blades
•Repurposing is an environmentally, socially and economically sustainable end-of-life option for composite material wind turbine blades
•Repurposing is preferable to materials recovery, waste-to-energy or landfilling within the circular economy paradigm, and may offer additional social benefits over these other options
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.
