The challenge
Europe's wind fleet is aging and blades don't decompose.
Thousands of composite blades reach end-of-life every year, with no landfill, free pathway at scale. ALTIM RE was built to close that gap.

Energy Rebirth: Out of Service Today, Useful Tomorrow
ALTIM RE manages the complete transition from blade decommissioning to controlled transport, mechanical processing, material separation and industrial reuse, turning a logistics challenge into a supply chain.

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 cut and prepared where they rest, cutting handling risk and cost before a single truck moves.
Regional processing
Material flows into a dedicated Moldovan hub engineered for scalable, repeatable blade recovery.
Industrial reuse
Recovered streams are qualified for construction, cement, composites, insulation and industrial filler markets.
From retired panel to recovered industrial material.
ALTIM RE runs an automated dismantling line that separates glass, aluminium, silicon and metals at industrial scale — recovering value that landfill throws away.
Automated dismantling
Dedicated robotic stations remove junction boxes, glass and aluminium frames with no manual disassembly.
High-yield recovery
Crushing and sorting equipment recovers metal, silicon, glass and plastic at rates above 95%.
Circular reuse
Recovered streams re-enter construction, electronics and manufacturing supply chains.
2
On-site cutting
The blade is segmented exactly where it stands.
Trained crews use diamond wire cutting systems to segment the blade on-site, delivering clean, precise cuts through the composite structure while minimizing dust, vibration and handling risk.
3
Transport
Prepared sections move safely to Moldova.
Cut into smaller sections, blade material is loaded into standard shipping containers for controlled, efficient transport to the ALTIM RE recycling hub.
4
Facility arrival
Material is verified before it enters the line.
Incoming sections are unloaded, inspected, weighed and logged, so every ton entering the process is accounted for.
5
Primary shredding
Composite becomes processable feedstock.
High-torque primary shredding reduces blade sections into uniform pieces, ready for material-specific separation.
6
Material separation
Fiberglass, carbon fiber and steel go their own way.
Advanced separation technology isolates each material stream at industrial purity, ready for direct reuse.
7
New life
Recovered materials return to industrial value chains.
Recovered fiberglass, resin and metal streams feed cement, composites, insulation and industrial filler production.
8
Regional hub
Moldova becomes Eastern Europe's recovery hub.
Positioned at the crossroads of major wind markets, ALTIM RE is built to scale with operators and industrial partners across the region.
1
The challenge
Solar's waste wave is coming faster than the industry expects.
Global PV panel waste is projected to reach roughly 8 million tonnes by 2030 and today's waste systems weren't built to absorb it.
2
Collection
End-of-life panels are pulled from the field, not left behind.
Panels retired or damaged in service are collected directly from installations and staged for transport to the ALTIM RE facility.
3
Facility arrival
Every panel is checked before it reaches the line.
Incoming panels are unloaded, inspected and queued into the automated dismantling process.
4
Junction box removal
The first component out: the junction box.
A dedicated robotic station detaches junction boxes cleanly, before deeper material separation begins.
5
Glass removal
Tempered glass comes off intact.
Purpose built glass removal equipment lifts the surface glass from the laminate handling panels up to 1,250 mm wide for clean, high-value glass recovery.
6
Frame removal
Aluminium frames are stripped for direct reuse.
An automated frame-removal station separates the aluminium edge structure, ready for remelting with no downgrading.
7
Crushing & sorting
The laminate is broken down into pure material streams.
Crushing and sorting recovers metal powder, silicon, copper, silver and plastic at recovery rates above 95%.
8
New life
Recovered materials go straight back to work.
Glass, aluminium, silicon and metals are prepared for reuse across construction, electronics and manufacturing.
Industrial impact
Recovered material streams with practical industrial pathways.
ALTIM RE connects renewable-energy decommissioning with construction, cement and industrial material markets.
