ThoYu has completed the successful testing of a novel process for repurposing discarded wind turbine blades into molded pallet. The test, conducted yesterday at the ThoYu factory, utilized waste materials primarily composed of fiberglass provided by clients.

As wind energy garners global acclaim for its clean and renewable properties, the issue of decommissioned wind turbine blades has emerged as an environmental challenge. Fiberglass, the main component of these blades, cannot be incinerated nor naturally decomposed, leading to an accumulation of waste.

Dedicated to the recycling and reuse of obsolete materials, ThoYu has long been at the forefront of offering solutions to such environmental concerns. The increasing client demand for effective disposal methods for old wind turbine blades propelled the company into action.

In collaboration with the scientific research team from the China Forestry University, ThoYu embarked on over a year of rigorous testing and development. The collaborative effort has culminated in a breakthrough process that addresses the poor plasticity issue of fiberglass. The resultant molded pallet not only meet but exceed standards in terms of hardness, strength, and load-bearing capacity.

For the test, clients visited the ThoYu factory bringing crushed wind turbine blade materials. The manufacturing process involved adding a specific amount of wood chips and adhesive to the fiberglass before molding it in the machinery. The quality of the final product was highly praised by the visiting clients, who conducted a thorough examination of the process to ensure the feasibility of using wind turbine blades as raw material for tray production.

This innovative process not only offers a sustainable solution to the growing problem of wind turbine blade waste but also represents a significant step forward in the recycling and repurposing of materials that were previously considered non-recyclable. ThoYu continues to lead the way in environmental sustainability and innovation, fulfilling its commitment to meeting client needs through groundbreaking recycling technologies.
