Intertek Sustainability
Wind power is often seen as inherently sustainable. But as the industry scales, new questions emerge about materials, design, and what happens to wind turbines at the end of their life.
In this episode, Intertek experts explore how circular economy thinking is reshaping wind energy, from the use of low-carbon and recycled steel to advances in recyclable turbine blades and the role of artificial reefs in supporting marine biodiversity. The conversation looks at how innovation, engineering, and circular design can help the wind sector reduce environmental impact while building long-term resilience.
