M Wind Power reports it will produce zero waste blades by 2030!

"LM Wind Power announced its pledge to produce zero waste blades by 2030 in order to reduce the carbon footprint of the company’s products. The commitment represents a step forward in the company’s sustainability journey after becoming what it says was the first carbon-neutral business in the wind industry back in 2018."

"LM Wind Power will play a central role in supporting its customers to develop fully circular wind turbines that generate less waste during their production. In practice, LM Wind Power’s vision of zero waste blades means the company aims to send no manufacturing materials and packaging to landfill and incineration without energy recovery by 2030."

"Waste from manufacturing represents one of the biggest challenges faced by many industries as they seek to reduce their carbon footprint. Nearly one-third of its operational carbon footprint comes from waste disposal. Moreover, in the wind industry, around 20-25% of the materials purchased by wind turbine blade manufacturers do not go into the final product, and research indicates that blade manufacturing waste volumes are expected to be larger than decommissioned blade volumes during the coming decade."

"For wind turbine and blade manufacturers alike, LM Wind Power says, the key to reducing the product carbon footprint lies in the supply chain. In the blade life cycle, around 75% of CO2 emissions occur in the supply chain."
