The challenge
Retired wind blades need a new end-of-life pathway.
Thousands of wind turbine blades are reaching end of life across Europe and require scalable alternatives to landfill.

Recovery journey
From retired blade to recovered industrial material.
ALTIM RE manages the full transition from blade decommissioning to controlled transport, mechanical processing, material separation and industrial reuse pathways.
On-site preparation
Blade sections are prepared where they rest, reducing handling complexity before transport.
Regional processing
Material flows are directed to a dedicated Moldovan hub designed for scalable blade recycling.
Industrial reuse
Recovered streams are prepared for construction, cement, composites, insulation and filler markets.
From retired solar panel to recovered industrial material.
ALTIM RE manages panel collection and automated dismantling, separating glass, aluminium, silicon and metals for high-yield industrial reuse.
Automated dismantling
Junction boxes, glass and aluminium frames are removed by dedicated automated stations.
High-yield recovery
Crushing and sorting equipment recovers metal, silicon, glass and plastic at recovery rates above 95%.
Circular reuse
Recovered streams are prepared for construction, electronics and manufacturing supply chains.
2
On-site cutting
The blade is segmented where it rests.
Trained workers segment the blade on site using manual laser cutting systems.
3
Transport
Prepared sections move safely to Moldova.
Flatbed logistics move blade sections along a controlled route toward the ALTIM RE recycling hub.
4
Facility arrival
Sections arrive at the processing facility.
Incoming material is unloaded, inspected, weighed and prepared for the recycling line.
5
Primary shredding
Composite material becomes processable feedstock.
Primary shredding reduces blade sections into smaller, uniform pieces for downstream recovery.
6
Material separation
Fiberglass, carbon fiber and steel are separated.
Advanced separation technology recovers dedicated material streams for industrial reuse.
7
New life
Recovered materials return to industrial value chains.
Recovered streams can support cement, composites, insulation and industrial filler applications.
8
Regional hub
Moldova becomes a circular economy hub.
ALTIM RE is positioned to serve wind operators and industrial partners across Eastern Europe.

The challenge
Retired solar panels need a new end-of-life pathway.
Global PV panel waste is projected to reach around 8 million tonnes by 2030, and existing waste systems are not built for large-scale panel recovery.
2
Collection
Decommissioned panels are collected from the field.
Panels reaching end of life or damaged in service are gathered from installations and staged for transport to the recycling facility.
3
Facility arrival
Panels arrive at the processing facility.
Incoming panels are unloaded, inspected and queued for the automated dismantling line.
4
Junction box removal
Junction boxes are removed first.
A dedicated J-box removing machine detaches one or more junction boxes from each panel before further processing.
5
Glass removal
Tempered glass is separated from the panel surface.
A glass removing machine lifts most of the surface glass away from the laminate, handling panels up to about 1,250 mm wide.
6
Frame removal
Aluminium frames are stripped from the edges.
An aluminium frame removing machine detaches the frame from around the panel edge for separate recovery.
7
Crushing & sorting
The laminate is crushed and sorted into material streams.
Crushing and sorting equipment breaks down the remaining layers to recover metal powder, silicon, copper, silver and plastic, at recovery rates above 95%.
8
New life
Recovered materials return to industrial value chains.
Recovered glass, aluminium, silicon and metals are prepared for reuse in construction, electronics and manufacturing supply chains.
Industrial impact
Recovered material streams with practical industrial pathways.
ALTIM RE connects renewable-energy decommissioning with construction, cement and industrial material markets.
