Day 1 of the 2nd BLADES2BUILD Summer School!

🎉 Day 1 of the 2nd BLADES2BUILD Summer School successfully completed! 🌍♻️

 

📍 Today at the National Technical University of Athens (National Technical University of Athens) / R-NanoLab 🇬🇷, students, researchers, and experts came together to exchange knowledge and explore innovative solutions for the sustainable management and recycling of wind turbine blades and advanced composite materials.

 

✨ Highlights from Day 1:

🟢 Welcome & introduction to the Summer School and the BLADES2BUILD Project

🎓 Inspiring invited lectures on polymer composites, recycling pathways, and circular design

♻️ Discussions on reusing wind turbine blade waste in concrete applications

🔬 Interactive sessions on solvolysis & pyrolysis recycling technologies

👩‍🎓 Student presentations and interactive networking activities

🧪 Hands-on laboratory activities:

• Solvolysis of CFRPs

• Thermal recycling of CFRPs

• Nanomaterials synthesis

 

👏 A huge thank you to all speakers from National Technical University of Athens, Eindhoven University of Technology & Global Consulting Sustainability AS, participants, and the National Technical University of Athens team for making the first day so engaging, interactive, and inspiring! 🙌

 

👉 We are excited to continue tomorrow with more discussions, innovation, and collaboration towards a more circular and sustainable future for composite materials and wind energy.

🌱 Together, we build the future of sustainable composites.
