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报废的问题，优先考虑环境因素，公平分担努力，克服所有关键行为者之间的技术、经济和社会障碍。为此，Eolo-Hubs将开发3个开放中心，根据不同欧洲地区的需求，共同设计、共同创建和展示实施CE的新技术、组织结构、商业模式和法律建议。知识中心将把利益攸关方联系起来，就类似的倡议进行有效合作，共享数据并传播良好做法，以在项目期间和之后复制成功案例。另外两个枢纽将通过高效的废物回收解决方案，建设一个涵盖WTB再利用和回收的全价值链的大型示范项目，从重型复合材料行业的拆解到定价，同时展示EoL复合材料在风能技术方面的具体需求。陆上枢纽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解陆上技术，最大限度地回收油漆和涂料，以及实现化学积木(溶剂化)的可回收性。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，以与其他部门合作的零废物方法获得高产量的RGF和CGF，并演示如何为离岸技术准备门户，以便连接到回收WTB的新价值链。通过这种方式，Eolo-Hubs将建立关键参与者的长期合作，获得相关示范场景，以确保近90%的WTB材料得到回收，创造一种循环经济，创造就业机会，并在2030年前减少温室气体排放。
