Results
Foreseen ECORES WIND solutions focus on the entire lifecycle of wind turbines, from manufacturing to decommissioning.
Key innovations include:
- Circular Resins and Reversible Adhesives: These materials enable easy disassembly and recycling of wind turbine components, significantly reducing waste and CO2 emissions.
- Advanced Manufacturing Techniques: We employ state-of-the-art methods like thermoforming, chemical recycling, and injection molding to create durable and recyclable turbine components.
Life Cycle Assessments (LCA): Comprehensive LCA, LCC, and SLCA evaluations guide our decision-making, ensuring that our solutions are economically viable and socially beneficial .
