We are excited to present Issue #4 of the EuReComp Newsletter, showcasing the significant progress made in Work Package 3 (WP3) and Work Package 6 (WP6). Both work packages are instrumental in supporting circular economy principles and promoting sustainability within the composite materials industry.
Work Package 3 (WP3) has made remarkable strides in repurposing and repairing end-of-life (EoL) components. A notable achievement includes transforming segments of EoL wind turbine blades into functional floats for small-scale photovoltaic (PV) systems, in addition to developing novel repair strategies to extend the lifecycle of composite components.
Work Package 6 (WP6) focuses on safety and sustainability assessments, combining risk and safety evaluations with life cycle assessments and techno-economic analyses. This approach helps identify best practices and evaluate the environmental benefits of our initiatives, ensuring a comprehensive approach to sustainability.
Together, these work packages address the complex challenges of composite waste management, boost resource efficiency, and promote sustainable practices across the EuReComp project.
