Stena and Vestas Scale Blade Recycling

A growing number of wind turbines are approaching the end of their operational life. While around 90 percent of a turbine can already be recycled, composite blade materials remain difficult to process. In many cases, discarded blades are still landfilled or incinerated. Industry association WindEurope is supporting efforts to introduce a Europe-wide landfill ban for decommissioned blades, building on restrictions already implemented in several countries.
