According to the research report published by Market IntelliX, the global market for Onshore Wind Turbine Scrapping and Recycling should grow from US$ 29 million in 2022 to US$ 990.2 million by 2029, with a CAGR of 38.9% for the period of 2023-2029.

The major global manufacturers of onshore wind turbine scrapping and recycling are HJHansen Recycling Group, Schnitzer Steel, Belson Steel, Veolia, Stena Recycling, Carbon Rivers, and Fengnuo Environmental, etc. The largest producer is HJHansen Recycling Group, with a market share of 15.71%. Global onshore wind turbine scrapping and recycling production regions are mainly located in North America, Europe, China, Japan and so on. The consumer markets are mainly located in North America, Europe, China, etc., with Europe having the largest market share at 85.73%. In terms of its product category, mechanical processes has the highest market share of over 99%. In terms of its application, the steel&iron industry is its top application area, accounting for 54.07% of the market share, followed by copper industry and permanent magnet industry, with 29.7% and 10.53% respectively.

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.
