Break It Down: This Big Wind Industry Player Is Seeking To Make Future Turbine Blades 100% Recyclable

February 03, 2021

It should come as no surprise that wind has one of the energy industry’s lowest carbon footprints. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be even smaller — and one promising avenue involves recycling wind turbine blades. “There are huge sustainability advances in terms of energy, materials and consumption at every stage,” says Hanif Mashal, vice president of engineering and technology at LM Wind Power. In fact, the Danish company, a subsidiary of GE Renewable Energy, is seeking to find ways to make blades that could be 100% recyclable one day.
