Based on the increasing number of end of life wind turbine blades and the emphasis on resource conservation and environmental protection, more and more attention has been paid to the recycling and reuse of thermoset composite materials for wind turbine blades. This paper gives an overview of the main recycling technologies and reuse of recycled products. Current recycling technology still needs more work to move from laboratory stage to commercial production. Cheaper, less polluting, and more efficient recycling technologies are needed, along with remanufacturing technologies for high performance products can be obtained to expand the market for recycled materials. In addition, new environmentally friendly blade materials should be designed from the source, using natural fiber, modified thermosetting resin and recyclable thermoplastic resin, which make wind energy a truly clean energy.
