Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps he is taking to help ensure that wind turbine blades are recycled rather than placed in landfill sites.

Industry is working to develop innovative ways of recycling or reusing wind turbines. The Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, in partnership with High Value Manufacturing Catapult’s National Composites Centre, and supported by The Crown Estate, Net Zero Technology Centre and RenewableUK, launched SusWind in 2021. This project will discover and demonstrate viable ways to recycle composite wind turbine blades and explore the use of sustainable materials and processes.
