Wind turbine blades have a lifespan of about 20 years. After that, they are dismantled and most of the time buried in landfill. The Re-Wind Network project intends to recycle them to create urban furniture.
To do this, the group has assembled a research team comprising experts from City College of New York and the Georgia Institute of Technology in the United States, and University College Cork and Queen's University Belfast in Ireland.
