Session description
As wind turbines reach the end of their operational life, the challenge of recycling complex components has become a focal point for innovation. This session highlights some of the latest projects that are transforming how we recycle and repurpose wind turbine components. Designed as a dynamic mix of short project pitches and interactive poster discussions, this session invites delegates to engage directly with researchers, startups, and industry leaders shaping the future of wind turbine recycling.
