Swedish state-owned firm Vattenfall has collaborated with material extraction firm Gjenkraft and sustainable ski-maker Evi to use alternative materials for high-performance skis.<\/p>\n<p>While large parts of end-of-service wind turbines can be recycled, the composite make-up of the blades means separating and recycling the materials at scale is difficult. Vattenfall has been rolling out a series of projects to find solutions that can help the firm meet its target to be able to recycle 100% of its turbines by 2030. The energy firm joined the collaboration with Gjenkraft and Evi to transform broken or worn-out skis into new pairs, incorporating carbon fibres extracted from decommissioned Vattenfall blades to reinforce the skis, enhancing their durability and performance.<\/p>\n<p>Vattenfall said it has so far ordered 15 pairs from Evi, including alpine skis, carving skis and one pair of race skis. A ski test site will be set up next to the racetrack at the World Cup Women\u2019s slalom in Are, Sweden , on March 8 and 9, where visitors can test the skis, the firm said.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbreak.com\/the-independent-517119\/3838169164549-skis-made-from-recycled-turbine-blades-to-hit-the-slopes\">Newsbreak<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-677\/\">Skis made from recycled turbine blades to hit the slopes<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,18114,18115],"class_list":["post-137973","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-skis","tag-turbine-blasts"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137973","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137973"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137973\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137973"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
