Swancor and Siemens Gamesa join forces to move towards a circular economy
Swancor and Siemens Gamesa have signed a Letter of Intent (LOI). Starting in 2026, the resin supplied from Swancor to Siemens Gamesa will be all recyclable.
This partnership represents a significant stride in applying recyclable thermosetting epoxy resin “EzCiclo” within wind turbines, and it marks a pivotal milestone for Swancor in advancing a green circular economy.
“EzCiclo” was invented in 2021 and solved the problem of non-recyclability of thermosetting epoxy resin since its invention in 1935, according to Swancor. It has also dispelled the negative stigma surrounding FRP or composite materials, once viewed as a “necessary evil”. Currently, EzCiclo recyclable products in commercial circulation include 100-meter wind turbine blades, carbon fiber bicycles, and shoe materials. Products undergoing testing encompass dry-type transformers, copper clad laminate (CCL), and EMC packaging materials.
Swancor is committed to further promoting the application of “EzCiclo” across various industries, and pledges to collaborate closely with its partners to advance the cause of sustainable development on the planet.
