Shangwei New Materials launched a new recyclable epoxy resin to go to the era of zero carbon

The environmental protection issues arising from the decommissioning of wind turbine blades have been aroused at home and abroad in recent years. Most of the world still choose to dispose of decommissioned wind power blades in the cheapest way of burying and incinerating them, but these two most convenient recycling methods are not only The cost is high, and many kinds of pollution will be produced, which will overwhelm the global environment.

Is it possible to recycle the composite materials in these products in a low carbon economical way? If there is a new composite material with new recycling technology, when it needs to be scrapped, just add lysate to directly recycle resin and fiber, will it change the traditional rules?

EzCiclo, CleaVER

Shangwei Company innovatively launched two new products, "EzCiclo" and "CleaVER", and proposed future solutions, which can not only recycle wind power blades, but also reuse them.

Shangwei "EzCiclo" is a kind of epoxy resin that can be recycled and reused. It uses "EzCiclo" made of glass fiber reinforced plastic (FRP, fiber-reinforced plastic) and carbon fiber composite materials to make wind power The blades can be recycled and degraded when they reach the end of their service life. Through the "CleaVER" technology, the "garbage" that would have been waste is transformed into recycled fibers and oligomers, which can be reused after sorting and made into glass fiber reinforced plastic ( GFRP) and carbon fiber composite (CFRP) raw materials, is a recyclable system.

Going to the era of zero carbon

The recycling methods of composite materials can be divided into three types, thermal decomposition method, microwave decomposition method and chemical depolymerization recycling, but each has its own disadvantages; Shangwei's "EzCiclo" and "CleaVER" systems are not only recyclable Fiber and resin can also be recycled, and the process will not produce waste solvents and waste gas, no secondary pollution (acid, alkali), reusable and safe (comply with EHS).

Shangwei's "EzCiclo" and "CleaVER" systems have the following advantages:

(1) Customers do not need to change the current blade production process and equipment

(2) Recycled composite materials do not need to be crushed first, and the operation is convenient

(3) The resin can be recycled and reused, and the recycling process does not need to use waste acid and waste alkali, so there is no secondary pollution to the environment

(4) Low carbon footprint
Due to climate change, more than 140 countries around the world have proposed the goal of net zero emissions by 2050. The European Union will impose "carbon tariffs" from 2023, and the United States is also planning to adopt carbon tariffs on imported products. Carbon reduction is no longer an environmental issue, but an economic one. Today, all industries are moving towards net zero emissions and sustainable operation.

Shangwei's "EzCiclo" and "CleaVER" can be applied to a wide range of industries. In addition to the field of wind turbine blades, the sports and automobile industries have also developed, and they are actively developing PCB board factories and other fields.

Shangwei has changed the recycling rules with an innovative chemical method, which is a pioneering effort to put the sustainable goal of resource efficiency into practice. The whole process minimizes the consumption of raw materials and increases the possibility of material reuse and recycling. The entire production process brings enormous added value.
