Project CETEC

A coalition of industry and academic leaders have developed a novel technology to enable circularity for thermoset composites, the material used to make wind turbine blades. The new technology delivers the final technological step on the journey towards a fully recyclable wind turbine value chain. To enable the adoption of this new technology, and to advance a circular economy across the wind industry, a new initiative entitled CETEC (Circular Economy for Thermosets Epoxy Composites) has been established. Within three years, CETEC is aiming to present a fully scoped solution ready for industrial adoption, based on commercialisation of the novel circularity technology.

The project is a collaboration between Vestas, Olin, Danish Technological Institute and Aarhus University and is partly funded by Innovation Fund Denmark
