A sustainable Circular Economy in the wind sector requires to solve the End of Life problematic of the Wind Turbine Blades, prioritizing environmental factors and fairly sharing the efforts to overcome the technologic, economic and social barriers among all the key actors. To this end, EoLO-HUBs will develop 3 open hubs to co-design, co-create and demonstrate new technologies, organizational structures, business models and legal recommendations to implement CE according to the needs of the different European regions. The Knowledge Hub will connect stakeholders to effectively collaborate on similar initiatives, sharing data and spilling over good practices to replicate success stories during and after the project. The other 2 hubs will build a large-scale demonstration covering the full value chain for WTB reusing and recycling from the dismantling to the valorisation in heavy composite sectors through efficient waste recycling solutions, while specific needs of EoL composites in wind technology are representing. The Onshore Hub will include the necessity of implementing a Zero-pollution and mobile system for dismantling onshore technologies without jeopardise the environment and maximising the recovering of paints and coatings as well as enabling the recyclability of chemical building blocks (solvolysis). The Multi-sectorial and Offshore Hub will include the necessity of adapting current high volume composite recycling technologies(pyrolysis) to obtain a high yield of rGF and cGF in a Zero-waste approach collaborating with other sectors as well as to demonstrate how to prepare the gateways for offshore technologies to connect to the new value chain for recycling WTB. In this way, EoLO-HUBs will create a long-term collaboration of key actors with access to relevant demonstration scenarios to ensure the recycling of almost 90% of the WTB materials, creating a circular economy that generates jobs and reduce greenhouse gas emission by 2030.

风电行业的可持续循环经济需要解决风力涡轮机叶片的寿命终止问题，优先考虑环境因素，并在所有关键参与者之间公平分担克服技术、经济和社会障碍的努力。为此，EoLO-HUB将开发3个开放中心，共同设计、共同创造和展示新技术、组织结构、商业模式和法律建议，以根据欧洲不同地区的需求实施CE。知识中心将连接利益相关者，以便在类似的举措上进行有效协作，共享数据并传播良好实践，以在项目期间和之后复制成功案例。另外两个中心将通过高效的废物回收解决方案建立一个大规模示范项目，涵盖 WTB 再利用和回收的整个价值链，从重型复合材料行业的拆解到增值，同时满足风电技术中 EoL 复合材料的具体需求。陆上中心将包括实施零污染和移动系统的必要性，以在不危害环境的情况下拆除陆上技术，最大限度地回收油漆和涂料，并实现化学构件的可回收性（溶剂分解）。多部门和离岸中心将包括采用当前高容量复合回收技术（热解）的必要性，以便通过与其他部门合作的零废物方法获得高产量的 rGF 和 cGF，并展示如何为离岸技术准备网关，以连接到回收 WTB 的新价值链。通过这种方式，EoLO-HUB 将与关键参与者建立长期合作关系，并获得相关示范场景，以确保近 90% 的 WTB 材料得到回收利用，从而创建循环经济，到 2030 年创造就业机会并减少温室气体排放。
