A Successful Conclusion to the BLADES2BUILD Workshop!

🌍♻️ Two Inspiring Days, Valuable Knowledge Exchange and a Successful Conclusion to the BLADES2BUILD Workshop! 🎉

 

👉 We are delighted to announce the successful completion of the BLADES2BUILD Workshop – “Environmental Compliance and Sustainability Beyond Compliance for Circular WTB Solutions,” held on 8–9 October 2026 at RWTH Aachen University, Germany! 🇩🇪

 

🔔 After an engaging first day dedicated to environmental compliance, regulatory frameworks, testing methods and occupational health and safety, our second and final day focused on sustainability, circularity and putting knowledge into practice by the Institute of Sustainability in Civil Engineering (INaB) at RWTH Aachen University! 🌱

 

📚 Throughout today’s programme, participants had the opportunity to explore:

🌍 Sustainability Assessment – Methods & Tools, providing valuable insights into environmental performance evaluation.

♻️ Sustainability & Circularity, highlighting approaches towards more sustainable and resource-efficient material solutions.

📊 LCA in Practice, exploring case studies in circular materials and construction.

💻 Hands-on LCA Activities, bringing theory into practice through group work, interactive exercises and LCA software.

🤝 Interactive discussions and networking, encouraging meaningful exchanges of knowledge, experiences and ideas.

✨ What an incredible experience!

 

🔎 These days have been much more than a series of lectures and demonstrations. They have provided an excellent opportunity to connect academic expertise, practical knowledge and innovative approaches, strengthening collaboration towards a more circular and sustainable future for wind turbine blade materials.

 

🙏 A heartfelt thank you to all our speakers, participants, organisers and the team at RWTH Aachen University for their invaluable contributions, enthusiasm and commitment to making this workshop such a wonderful experience!

💡 Your active participation, insightful discussions and collaborative spirit have been essential to its success.

 

💚 Together, we are turning knowledge into action and advancing the transition from end-of-life wind turbine blades to safe, sustainable and circular solutions!

 

🚀 The workshop may have come to an end, but our journey towards circular innovation continues!

 

🎇 Stay tuned for more updates from BLADES2BUILD!
