Circular Economy: Wind Turbine Blade Maker Is Working To Turn Waste Into A Resource

Amanda Schupak
November 29, 2021

Wind energy is a powerful tool for shrinking the world’s carbon footprint. Making the machines that convert wind into clean power, however, comes with its own footprint, as is true of any manufacturing industry.

Take the 13 global factories run by LM Wind Power, the GE Renewable Energy subsidiary. Among the blades they manufacture are wind turbine blades up to 107 meters in length for GE Renewable Energy’s Haliade-X offshore wind turbines. Just one turn of the turbine can generate enough energy to supply the equivalent of one U.K. home for two days.

  • It will also partner with its suppliers to prevent waste in blade manufacturing, which today accounts for nearly one third of LM Wind Power’s operational carbon footprint.
  • Zero waste blades represent a significant step forward on the industry’s circularity ambitions.
