🎁 A Second Pre-Christmas Gift from BLADES2BUILD! 🎄

📌 The season of giving continues. We’re happy to share another new paper from the BLADES2BUILD project, marking our second pre-Christmas gift to the community!

Our new publication, “Recycling of Glass Fibers from Wind Turbine Blade Wastes via Chemical-Assisted Solvolysis”, led by the National Technical University of Athens/R-NanoLab investigates a low‑temperature chemical solvolysis process using a poly(ethylene glycol)/NaOH system to recycle glass fibers from end‑of‑life wind turbine blade composites, as a more sustainable alternative to landfilling or incineration. Under optimized conditions, the process achieves about 80% decomposition of the polyester matrix and recovers glass fibers with minimal surface damage, demonstrating the potential for effective chemical recycling of GFRP waste.
