Stena Recycling awarded for wind turbine blade circularity solution
Stena Recycling, in cooperation with Olin Corporation, Vestas Wind Systems, Aarhus University, and Danish Technological Institute, has been recognized with 2024 Global Innovation Award by JEC Composites in the Renewable Energies category.
The group is rewarded for having developed a solution that enables the recycling of materials from wind turbine blades on a lab scale. Wind turbine blades have previously been challenging to recycle due to the chemical properties of epoxy resin, a resilient substance that was believed to be impossible to break down into re-usable components.
