▶️ Wind power in transition: Recycling as an opportunity rather than a problem – What actually happens to wind turbines after they have been operated?
Wind power in transition: How recycling transforms wind turbines into valuable resources after operation. | From rotor blades to towers – we explain which materials are recycled and what challenges exist. | | New technologies and processes make recycling more efficient and open up economic opportunities. | | Repowering and reuse extend the service life of wind farms and reduce waste. | Research and innovation are driving fiber-based recycling solutions and thermal processes. | Sustainability pays off: jobs, local value creation, and the circular economy are growing. | | Legislation and standards are key to increasing recycling rates and transparency. | Practical examples show how manufacturers, operators, and municipalities are working together to find solutions. | We highlight opportunities, risks, and concrete steps for climate-friendly disposal. | A future in which wind energy is not only generated cleanly but also recycled responsibly.
