The Circular Wind Guide is an exciting non-profit initiative of ECHT and the University of Leeds with the specific aim to inspire and guide towards circular practices in the wind industry. We are happy to launch the next circular strategy with LM Wind Power on ‘Waste prevention’.
Waste prevention is about eliminating waste from production rather than having to deal with waste once it has emerged. This reduces costs and the environmental and social impacts from waste management. LM Wind Power’s Zero Waste Blades program has been established aiming at reducing direct consumption of materials, which are used in the blade building process. An example is the development of an algoritm enabling supply of glass rolls at optimal roll length for each blade design instead of standard length bringing down glass reinforcement waste by 12% providing both enviromental and economic benefits.
Maybe your organization already has a circular practice that covers one or more of the Circular Strategies, If that is the case we might show your practice at the Guide. Please reach out to us.
