Re-Wind Network project could prevent millions of tonnes of landfill over the coming years

Engineers have figured out how to repurpose disused wind turbine blades to serve as bridges capable of supporting up to 30 tonnes of weight.

As the government scales up wind farm development, the challenge of disposing of turbine blades when they reach the end of their lives is gaining urgency.

As wind energy expands, researchers and manufacturers are developing ways to repurpose and recycle wind turbine blades.

Thousands of old turbines, which have a below one-megawatt capacity and are past their lifecycle, should be replaced.

In an old wind farm in the wind-rich region of Kayathar in the Thoothukudi district of Tamil Nadu, there are 30 wind turbines, each with a 200-kilowatt (kW) capacity. Many of these turbines are nearing the end of their lifecycle of 20-25 years. Generally, the wind turbine generators (WTGs) at the end of service life […]

The Re-Wind Network project intends to recycle wind turbine blades and use them to create urban furniture and public amenities.

Worlds first recyclable wind turbine blades will be turned into TVs in 30 years time
