The decommissioning of first-generation wind turbines poses a significant environmental challenge. The report expects 40,000 t of blade waste by 2030. To address this issue, this study investigates the possibility of repurposing wind turbine blades into panels for road noise barriers. Numerical model of a typical turbine blade was developed to optimize the cutting process and evaluate the suitability of blade elements for screen construction. Mechanical analyses were conducted on both sandwich and solid laminate sections of the blades. A prototype screen panel was assembled using selected blade elements. The prototype underwent full-scale experimental tests in regard to its strength and stiffness. Results show that the panels exhibit promising mechanical capabilities, meeting, or exceeding mechanical requirements. The maximum deflection under load was measured at 50% of the allowable limit, which shows a substantial safety margin. Additionally, a cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment (LCA) was conducted, focusing on fossils consumption and climate change impact. The analysis reveals a positive environmental effect of this repurposing strategy, underscoring its potential in reducing carbon footprint. Future work will focus on acoustic performance evaluation. Overall, this research supports circular economy principles by offering a structurally sound and environmentally sustainable reuse pathway for decommissioned wind turbine blades.
