Circular Economy
Foresight Cleantech Accelerator Centre, in partnership with the Trade Commissioner Service, is hosting a challenge with Vestas, a leading global wind turbine manufacturer.
We’re Looking For the Next Generation of Fully-Recyclable Wind Turbine Blades
Challenge 1 – Turbine Blade Circular Design, Materials
The first SDG Connect challenge, Vestas’ Turbine Blade Circular Design, Materials challenge, is an open call to technology innovators and startups to develop:
-
- Advanced solutions/materials that can be used in Vestas’ next-generation wind turbine blades that will be fully recyclable at end-of-life
- Solutions that align with Vestas’ sustainability strategy goal of having zero-waste wind turbines by 2040.
Challenge 2 – Turbine Blade Circular Design, Decommissioning
The second SDG Connect challenge, Vestas’ Turbine Blade Circular Design, Decommissioning challenge, is an open call to technology innovators and startups to develop:
-
- Solutions for separating materials in decommissioned wind turbine blades
- Solutions for making the separated recycled materials applicable for relevant industry
