Reuse of rotor elements in the construction sector for cross-industry circularity to achieve CO2 reduction in the atmosphere.

Long description

Rethink*Rotor – reuse of rotor elements in the construction sector enables large turbine components to remain in the anthroposphere, thanks to the aesthetic potential and material properties such as durability, corrosion resistance, low weight and high rigidity. With around 21.7 % of gross electricity in Germany, wind energy is a rapidly growing market. The rotor blades of wind turbines have to be replaced after 20 years. Every year, about 7,500 are used as fuel, sand substitute neither residue-free, CO₂-neutral, nor sustainably thermally disposed of.

Way out of the recycling dilemma – new applications; circular, “profitable” in the construction sector.
