Recycling of Wind Turbine Motors and Generators
The energy transition is in full swing, and wind energy plays a crucial role in it. Wind turbines have become an iconic symbol of sustainable energy. However, a challenge remains at the end of their lifecycle: what happens to wind turbines when they are no longer operational? The answer lies in the circular economy and innovative recycling and renewal processes. In this blog, we highlight how motors, generators, and other components of wind turbines can be recycled and processed, with a special focus on wind turbines and their contribution to a more sustainable world.
What can we do?
Our services include several steps that contribute to an effective recycling process:
- Seperation of metal
- Separation of copper
- Demagnetizing

The heartbeat of wind energy
Wind turbines operate thanks to powerful motors and generators that convert the movement of the blades into electricity. These wind turbine motors and generators contain valuable metals such as copper and steel, which are essential to the industry. But what happens when a wind turbine needs to be replaced?
Wind Turbine Recycling
Recycling wind turbines, whether small or large, is a step toward a fully circular economy. Renewing and even completely rebuilding old wind farms involve not only implementing new technology but also giving existing materials a new life. Recycling wind farms helps minimize environmental impact and reduces the need for new raw materials. Regardless of the size of the wind turbine, we can process all motors and generators. Whether it’s small models or enormous industrial wind turbines, everything can be recycled.
Driving Motor Recycling: From Dismantling to Demagnetizing
A crucial aspect of recycling wind turbines is the recycling of the drive motors. These motors often contain magnets and various metals that need to be carefully separated. During the recycling process, we ensure the separation of metals, copper, and even the demagnetization of components. This allows us to recover and reuse valuable materials, such as the copper that is extracted.
Recycling Wind Farms
Recycling wind farms goes beyond just dismantling wind turbines. It involves carefully dismantling and processing all components to ensure maximum reuse. We ensure that each wind turbine returns its valuable materials, such as motors and generators, back into the economy. Through our efforts, we contribute to a circular economy and promote recycling as a key pillar of sustainability.
