According to a new report by Straits Research , the global wind blade recycling market size was valued at USD 68.24 million in 2024 and is projected to grow from USD 99.25 million in 2025 to reach USD 1,146 million by 2033, exhibiting a remarkable CAGR of 19.25% during the forecast period (2025–2033).

The market’s strong momentum is attributed to the growing decommissioning of ageing wind turbines, stringent sustainability regulations, and advancements in recycling technologies. With global wind energy capacity expanding, the volume of retired blades is projected to surpass 500,000 tons by 2034, creating a pressing need for advanced recycling solutions.

Recycling Method Insights

• Mechanical recycling dominates with a 50% market share in 2024, widely used for shredding blades into raw material for cement and concrete production.

• Chemical recycling is expected to grow fastest due to its ability to recover high-quality resins and fibers for high-value applications.

Key Market Drivers

• Stringent regulatory frameworks and landfill bans – Europe’s 2025 ban on landfilling turbine blades is expected to drive recycling demand, with 52,000 tonnes of blades decommissioned annually by 2030.

• Adoption of circular economy principles – Integration of recycled materials into industries like construction, automotive, and energy storage reduces reliance on virgin raw materials.

• Government investments and R&D support – In January 2025, the U.S. Department of Energy allocated USD 20 million to support turbine blade recycling initiatives targeting 90% material reuse.

Latest Market Trend

Advancements in chemical recycling technologies are reshaping the industry. Unlike mechanical methods, chemical recycling processes such as pyrolysis, thermolysis, and solvolysis enable the recovery of high-quality fiberglass and carbon fibers for reuse in high-value applications.

In October 2024, the ZEBRA consortium (Arkema, Owens Corning, LM Wind Power, ENGIE, and SUEZ) successfully demonstrated a closed-loop recycling process for thermoplastic turbine blades, recovering 75% Elium® resin and reclaimed fibers. Such initiatives highlight the market’s transition toward scalable, sustainable, and cost-effective solutions.
