R1 LIVE · R2 IN VALIDATION · PILOT IN PREPARATION

Landfill isn't a circularity strategy. Recovery you can prove is.

SustainCore turns end-of-life wind blades and GFRP/CFRP composite waste into recovered fiber — and a verified record of exactly what happened to the material.

The problem we remove

Millions of tonnes of composite reach end-of-life every year — with no trusted, provable recovery pathway. That's where circularity stalls. We change that.

I have composite waste

Find a recovery pathway you can prove

Wind blades, automotive scrap, aerospace structures, industrial off-cuts. We validate the best recovery route for your material — and hand you a verified recovery record instead of a disposal invoice.

Recovered fiber with a data sheet

Recovered glass fiber backed by independent lab characterization and verified process data. The output of the pathway, not a separate business — every batch ships with its record.

The Path — from recovered fiber to recovery intelligence

One material. Five levels. We show you exactly where we are.

The green levels are live or in motion today. The grey ones are where this is going — and we're deliberately honest about the line between them.

R1
Live

Recover

Physical recovery of glass fiber from GFRP via stationary pyrolysis — no pre-shredding of blade segments required.

R2
In validation

Validate

Independent labs characterize the output: E-glass confirmed at TU Darmstadt; mechanical testing under way at HTWK Leipzig; oil analysis by ASG Analytik.

R3
Next

Record

Every batch becomes a Digital Recovery Record — inputs, process parameters, mass balance, lab data. Audit-ready and DPP-ready by design.

R4
Planned

Intelligence

Recovery data compounds: AI-supported end-use recommendations built on validated material datasets, not guesswork.

R5
Vision

Network

A network of modular recovery sites at brownfield and industrial host locations — one shared evidence layer across the industry.

R1 = proven & live. Grey = where this is going — not what we sell today. We'd rather under-promise here and over-deliver in your lab report.

Materials & industries

One process. Every composite.

The same recovery pathway applies across industries — only the material changes. Wind is our flagship; the rest are on the same road.

01Flagship

Wind energy

End-of-life turbine blades — E-glass GFRP, our validated starting material and Europe's fastest-growing composite waste stream.

02

Automotive

Monocoques, body panels, production scrap — growing GFRP/CFRP volumes as lightweighting scales.

03

Aerospace & marine

Aircraft structures, hulls, yachts — high-value carbon fiber where provenance and proof matter most.

04

Industrial scrap

Off-cuts, prepregs, rejected parts, translucent panels — clean, consistent feedstock straight from production.

Starting with wind blades & GFRP recovery — validated to expand across composite chemistries.

The hardware — honest version

One modular unit. Then a cluster.

Stationary pyrolysis in a containerized module, built for brownfield and industrial host sites — no greenfield plant required. Validation runs on partner infrastructure first; hardware scales only when the evidence says go.

Why now

Your composite waste is piling up. The rules are tightening. And "we sent it away" is no longer an answer.

01 / Regulation

Landfill options are closing

Germany banned landfilling blades years ago; more EU member states are following. The cheapest route is disappearing, country by country.

02 / Value

Co-processing destroys value

Cement kilns consume blades as fuel and filler. That's disposal with better PR — the engineered fiber inside is lost forever.

03 / Proof

The DPP will ask for receipts

Europe's Digital Product Passport framework will expect you to prove what happened to your material. Doing nothing is now the expensive option.

You know it

We get it: tonnes of composite, and a regulator asking questions.

SustainCore is the recovery pathway built for exactly this — validated with independent labs, supported by public innovation funding, and designed around Europe's DPP framework.

The plan

Three steps. Proof before pilot.

1 Wind turbine blade being cut into segments on site

Send a sample

Book a Recovery Assessment and ship us a sample of your composite waste — a blade segment, off-cuts, or production scrap.

2 Containerized pyrolysis module — render

We recover & validate

Pyrolysis recovery under controlled conditions, then independent lab analysis: fiber characterization, residue, mass balance.

You get proof

Recovered fiber plus a verified Digital Recovery Report: what came in, what came out, and the evidence behind every claim.

A paid Composite Recovery Assessment turns one sample into a lab-backed report and DPP-ready data — the low-risk first step before any pilot or contract.

Recovery intelligence

Because in industrial recycling, transparency is the product.

A record, not a promise

Every batch becomes a verified record — inputs, process parameters, outputs, lab results — with a reference anyone in your chain can check. Sustainability claims backed by data, not adjectives.

The moat is the data

Each assessment adds a validated data point: material, process, output quality, end-use fit. That dataset is what makes every next recovery smarter — and impossible to fake.

DPP-ready, hype-free

We don't sell you a passport. We eliminate your end-of-life compliance uncertainty — with documentation structured for Europe's Digital Product Passport from day one.
