Would you like to be able to recycle and reuse the wind turbine blade materials?
" Globally, one of the biggest challenges to transition to wind energy has been the disposal of wind turbine blades. The standard method of disposal are burying and incineration due to the low cost, but that will raise concerns from an environmental perspective.
EzCiclo & CleaVER
Swancor launched two new products, "EzCiclo" and "CleaVER", offering futuristic solutions to finally be able to recycle wind turbine blades and reuse them.Swancor's latest development, "EzCiclo", is a recyclable and reusable epoxy resin. With "EzCiclo", glass or carbon fiber composites could be recycled and degraded via "CleaVER" technology. It turns waste into reclaimed glass/carbon fibers and oligomers, which reuses both reinforcement and resin by closing the loop, and the recycling process does not generate waste solvents and pollution. It can be applied across a range of industries and manufacturing processes, not only in the wind energy industry but also in sporting, CCL and automotive industries...etc.

Compared with existing composites recycling methods: pyrolysis method and solvolysis method,
- Swancor's recycling system advantages include:
- No need to change the current wind blades production process and equipment
- No need to crush FRP before the decomposition process
- No waste solvent and waste gas in the recycling process
- Recycled fibers show equivalent mechanical performance to new fibers
- Oligomer could be reused
- Produces a minuscule carbon footprint
- Meet RoHS and REACH
