INPRE COMPOSITES is participating in the project, which will develop an innovative circular resin for wind power structures and has been selected by the Horizon Europe program.
The primary objective of the ECORES WIND project is to develop an innovative circular resin designed to adapt to composite structures in wind energy applications, such as blades and nacelles. This resin is designed to minimize the environmental footprint of wind generator components, thereby contributing to the sustainability of the sector.
ECORES-WIND focuses on exploring options and alternatives that facilitate greater circularity in the wind power industry, promoting a prolonged service life of components and efficient dismantling at the end of their life cycle.
INPRE COMPOSITES’ role in the project is to define how the recyclable resin developed will contribute to improving the circularity of components by facilitating dismantling, disassembly, reuse, and recycling processes. By integrating a strategy for dismantling and disassembly, supported by reversible resins, this work package will explore the possibilities offered by materials to be used in a second life, thus enabling cost-effective reuse within the manufacturing industry.
ECORES-WIND has been selected within the Horizon Europe framework program, specifically in the HORIZON-CL5-2023-D3-02 call (Supply of sustainable, safe, and competitive energy).
