Mapping and analysis of current circular economy approaches in the wind energy sector

The aim of this report is to provide a review of current developments in the circularity of design in wind energy. The current state of play is described and challenges identified regarding the end-of-life treatment of wind energy components. The study maps industry initiatives, along with their respective industry players, and public research initiatives aiming for circularity in component design. A distinction is made, where possible, between EU and Rest of World (RoW) initiatives.
