#117 Interview with Gees Recycling on JEC World 2024: Composites Recycling featuring outstanding surfaces

How to recycle 5,000 tons of wind blades in just one plant.

During JEC World 2024 I came across a very promising project
funded by the European Commission that I'd like to bring to your
attention. Read more about the project here:

One of our society's huge problems in the future will be the
aging of windturbine blades. Each of these blades contain usually
8 metric tons of fibreglass. Add the resin then you see the scale
of problem that we will be facing or are already facing.

In this episode I interviewed Giorgio Betteto of Gees Recycling.
We start of by inspecting some samples he brought along of
recycled composites that feature very solid surfaces. These are
hard as ceramic and therefore not only water repellant, but also
such impact proof that the can be used as floor tiles.
