WindEurope’s position paper on cement co-processing as a sustainable solution for recycling end-of-life composite materials

The wind sector could generate about 15,000 tonnes of blade waste in Europe each year in the period 2020-2023. By 2030 this could amount to 60,000 tonnes a year. In the same year close to 67 GW of wind energy installed capacity could reach the end of its designed lifetime of 20 years. Cement co-processing offers a sustainable and circular solution to this issue. Recycling end-of-life glass fibre reinforced composite materials can immediately be deployed at large scale. But we need a strong supporting regulatory framework to overcome the barriers.

We therefore call on European policymakers to:
