Thousands of wind turbines will be taken out of commission in the coming years. If no action is taken, the energy transition’s big hope could become a problem. The millions of tonnes of concrete, steel and aluminium can be returned to use via the recycling systems already in place. However, it is more difficult to recycle the rotor blades. There is a lack of transparency about the material flows, and the materials involved – e.g. carbon fibre-reinforced plastics – create difficulties. NEXT
