Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Onshore Wind Turbine Scrapping and Recycling market size was valued at US$ 192 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 1785 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 38.0% during review period.

Wind turbines are made up of many materials that have substantial salvage value at the end of its operational life and are recyclable. In fact, 80-94% of a wind turbine’s mass consists of easily recycled materials, such as steel / iron (approximately 88% of a turbine’s mass), aluminum (approximately 0.7%), and copper (approximately 2.7%). Other wind turbine components such as blades, nacelle covers and rotor covers are made of up composite materials, mostly fiberglass and carbon fiber, which, while nontoxic and safe, are more difficult to process for other purposes. However, these components make up roughly only 8% of a wind turbine’s total mass.

In addition, as described more below, the wind energy industry and other partners are expanding options to recycle and reuse even these historically tougher to process materials. While wind energy projects are expected to operate for 20 to 35 years, individual wind turbine components like rotor blades and covers may need upgrading or replacing sooner because of normal wear from exposure to the elements, or improvements in technology.
