Responsible renaturation does not end with disassembly: It beings with a clear concept for reusing and recycling the materials and components that have been removed. As a certified specialist in the waste disposal industry, we expertly sort all material flows, classify them and send them to certified recyclers – providing proof of disposal as required by law.
Particular emphasis is placed on reusing technical components such as gear boxes, generators, controllers and converters. We inspect them, store them as required, and then place them on the secondary market via our platform. This extends the serviceable life of products, reduces the quantity of raw materials required, and makes renaturation projects more appealing – including to operators in countries with a rising demand for spare parts or used equipment.
Another aspect essential to projects is concrete recycling. Demolishing foundations generates vast quantities of mineral waste, which we process on site, to be used for infrastructure projects such as road construction and surfacing. This not only reduces CO₂ by minimizing the need for raw materials and reducing transport distances, it also means a substantial reduction in the cost of the project. An added benefit is that such measures increase acceptance of the project in the respective region.
Rotor blade recycling
Recycling of rotor blades is one of the greatest challenges to recycling.
Due to the inhomogeneous composition of fiber-reinforced plastic, conventional recycling of materials is possible only to a limited extent. The latest technology is material and thermal recycling in the cement industry: The rotor blades serve as refuse-devised fuel, while at the same time supplying valuable mineral components to the production of bricks – efficiently, with minimal emissions and in compliance with the applicable laws.
We collaborate with specialist partners to guarantee reliable, transparent processing, including transport logistics, preparation and complete documentation. In addition, we actively trace and support initiatives within the industry as well as research projects that develop new ways to recycle – e.g. applying chemical recycling, reprocessing materials or developing alternative uses for products from glass-fiber reinforced waste.
Our aim is to convert renaturation projects to true cycle processes, by reusing instead of recycling, by assuming ecological responsibility for actual removal and by ensuring transparency every step of the way.
