Comment on ‘UK first’ sees decommissioning of ScottishPower wind farm demonstrate turbine circularity

The analysis found a total 99.9% material recovery – calculating that 79.5% of the wind farm’s components were recycled and 20.4% were reused or retained as spare parts, keeping nearly all material out of landfills.
It also confirmed that 100% of the recycling and component retention took place within the UK, supporting domestic green jobs and at least 10 supply chain companies.
That’s a lot better than I would have expected
Lots of down-cycling though, so it sounds better than it is IMHO.

I’d rather that than landfill, though. Today the tree tops, tomorrow the stars, as they say:)
