Recycling für Windkraftanlagen // TSR

There’s so much there. And we recover it all

Picture of an offshore wind turbine with a pie chart 90% of the mass of a wind turbine can be recycled

How you benefit

Complete solutions from one company, coordinated by a single contact person.

Comprehensive recycling expertise covering all components (in our group and/or with partner firms).

Transparent reimbursement in euros per tonne.

Perfect teamwork between all expert businesses involved.

This is what happens to the individual
metal components

A tower of a dismantled wind turbine is transported on an articulated lorry

Depending on the quality of the material, the separated steel and iron components are either sent straight to steelworks for smelting or further dismantled and processed at a TSR plant.

The recyclable materials are recovered from all the other parts (such as the e-motor, gearbox and transformer), separated according to type and then transformed into highquality raw materials.

Working parts are made available to the wind energy sector as spare parts. Absolutely in keeping, therefore, with the principle that priority should always be given to reuse ahead of materials recycling.

A 10% share. 100% commitment

The blades may make up around just one-tenth of all the material found in a wind turbine but we put all our efforts into this ten percent as well. Working together with both other companies in our group and specialised partner firms, we shred the blades into flakes so they can be used as a substitute building material. Moreover, we are also permanently working on developing additional recycling solutions.
