Wind power supply chains are evolving as markets expand to reach climate goals. With the largest installed wind power capacity globally, China must deal with increasing composite turbine waste and anticipate its associated costs. Here we predict the quantity and composition of wind turbine blade waste based on historic deployment.
Between 7.7 and 23.1 million tonnes of wind turbine blade waste could be generated in China by 2050, but although recycling approaches exist, they are not always available, cost-effective or environmentally sustainable, according to a quantitative analysis of present and future blade waste
As wind turbines reach the end of their design life and the industry upgrades, the world will face the serious problem of a large number of end-of-life turbines. Some of these wind turbine materials can be recycled using traditional and proven processes, but the recycling of composite materials such as turbine blades is very challenging.
An earlier research from the University of Cambridge estimates that the world will accumulate 43 million tonnes of wind turbine blade waste by 2050. As early-generation turbines reach the end of their lifespans, the disposal of these non-biodegradable composite materials is becoming a major global challenge.

Founded on April 7, 2016, Yuxi Company has the capacity of producing wind turbine blades of 100 meters and below, and it can produce 400 sets of wind turbine blades per year.
World''s first 361-foot fully recyclable wind turbine blade unveiled in China The MySE23X blade uses pultruded carbon fiber panels, which are much stronger and lighter than standard fiberglass.
On October 8, the World Economic Forum (WEF) unveiled its latest list of "Lighthouse Factories", in which SANY Renewable Energy''s (SANY R.E.) blade factory in Shaoshan China made
