Wind & solar recycling hub · Moldova
ALTIM RE turns a logistics and compliance burden into a dependable supply of recovered material — from decommissioned blade or panel to industrial-ready output, under one accountable process.
Recovery journey
Every stage is built around one goal: recovered material that meets a real industrial spec, not just reduced volume. Here's the path a blade takes from decommissioning to reuse.
Blade sections are cut and prepared where they rest, cutting handling risk and cost before a single truck moves.
Material flows into a dedicated Moldovan hub engineered for scalable, repeatable blade recovery.
Recovered streams are qualified for construction, cement, composites, insulation and industrial filler markets.
Automated dismantling separates glass, aluminium, silicon and metals at industrial scale, recovering value that landfill throws away — at recovery rates built for real industrial buyers, not just compliance.
Dedicated robotic stations remove junction boxes, glass and aluminium frames with no manual disassembly.
Crushing and sorting equipment recovers metal, silicon, glass and plastic at rates above 95%.
Recovered streams re-enter construction, electronics and manufacturing supply chains.
Collection & Preparation
Thousands of composite blades reach end-of-life every year, with no landfill-free pathway at scale. Blade sections are prepared where they rest, reducing handling risk and cost before transport begins.
Controlled Transport
Prepared sections travel to the ALTIM RE hub, where every incoming load is inspected, weighed and logged — so every tonne entering the process is fully accounted for.
Processing & Recovery
Processing separates fiberglass, resin and steel into individual material streams at industrial purity — engineered for reliable downstream reuse, not just volume reduction.
Industrial Reuse
Recovered fiberglass, resin and metal streams feed cement, composites, insulation and industrial filler production — closing the loop from decommissioning to renewed industrial value.
Collection & Preparation
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. Panels retired or damaged in service are collected directly from installations and staged for transport to the ALTIM RE facility.
Controlled Intake
Incoming panels are unloaded, inspected and queued into our automated dismantling process, beginning with clean removal of junction boxes and other fittings ahead of deeper material separation.
Processing & Recovery
Purpose-built equipment separates glass, aluminium and laminate layers, recovering metal, silicon, copper, silver and plastic at recovery rates above 95% — engineered for reliable reuse, not just volume reduction.
Industrial Reuse
Glass, aluminium, silicon and metals are prepared for reuse across construction, electronics and manufacturing — closing the loop from decommissioning to renewed industrial value.
Our Technology Philosophy
Much of this industry's early infrastructure was built around heavy, diesel-hungry shredding equipment — effective at reducing volume, but expensive to run, hard on emissions, and difficult to operate consistently at scale. We made a different choice from day one.
Our approach centers on advanced precision-cutting technology operated by trained technicians, rather than mass mechanical force — meaning a smaller equipment footprint and reduced reliance on continuous heavy machinery operation, plus more consistent, better-characterized output material for our industrial buyers.
Wind blades and solar panels are fundamentally different materials requiring fundamentally different recovery methods. Rather than specializing narrowly, we built dual-stream capability into the hub from the start — smoothing utilization, spreading fixed costs, and giving us resilience single-stream competitors don't have.
Our technology roadmap doesn't stop at the processing line. We're actively working toward electrified transport fleets and a facility powered by our own renewable generation — meaning the environmental case for choosing us gets stronger over time, not just at the moment you sign a contract.
This is a purpose-built hub designed for sustained throughput and long-term partnerships — not a proof-of-concept facility hoping to prove itself out. That distinction matters in an industry where several early entrants have struggled to deliver on ambitious announcements.

Why Partner With ALTIM RE
WindEurope's own data shows annual decommissioned blade volume rising from ~20,000 tonnes in 2025 to ~55,000 tonnes by 2030 across Europe — more than doubling in five years. Named flagship facilities like EnergyLoop (10,000 tonnes/year) and REGEN Fiber (30,000 tonnes/year) mark real progress, but WindEurope itself acknowledges blade recycling "has not yet been widely deployed at scale." This isn't a distant forecast. It's the gap ALTIM RE exists to help close.
Your blades' end of life just became a deadline, not a someday problem.
The EU's blade landfill ban is already in force, and unclear waste classification plus fragmented regulation across member states remain real barriers named directly by WindEurope. For most operators, the honest challenge isn't wanting to do the right thing — it's not having a dedicated, regional partner equipped to handle it end-to-end.
That gap shows up in predictable ways: finding a compliant disposal pathway in a market where specialized blade-recycling capacity is still scarce; absorbing the logistics cost of moving equipment that's large, heavy and expensive to transport long distances; and proving compliance after the fact — documentation that satisfies regulators, insurers and your own sustainability reporting.
We take that entire burden off your hands — one contracted relationship, one compliant process, fully documented from collection through certified output.
Recycled fiberglass is only useful if you can build a supply chain around it.
Cement producers, composite manufacturers and insulation suppliers don't need a one-time salvage lot — they need a consistent specification, a reliable delivery schedule, and a supplier who'll still be operating next year.
A dedicated regional hub changes that equation: recovered fiberglass, resin and steel processed to a consistent standard, at a predictable volume, from a single accountable source.
A 2026 peer-reviewed study (Espinosa et al., confirmed by PV Tech's reporting on the same University of Murcia / European Commission Joint Research Centre research) found current EU PV recycling capacity sits at roughly 170,000 tonnes per year, while annual waste is projected to exceed 1 million tonnes by 2030 — existing capacity covering barely a sixth of what's coming. This isn't a distant forecast. It's the gap ALTIM RE exists to help close.
Your panels' end of life just became a compliance obligation, not a someday problem.
The EU's WEEE Directive already mandates collection and recycling of end-of-life PV modules, yet the researchers behind this capacity study describe the bloc's PV end-of-life regulatory framework as still "incomplete and fragmented." For most operators, the honest challenge isn't wanting to do the right thing — it's not having a dedicated, regional partner equipped to handle it end-to-end.
That gap shows up in predictable ways: finding recycling capacity in a market covering barely a sixth of projected demand; absorbing the logistics cost of collecting panels from distributed installations; and proving compliance after the fact — documentation that satisfies regulators and your own sustainability reporting.
We take that entire burden off your hands — one contracted relationship, one compliant process, fully documented from collection through certified output.
Recycled glass, silicon and metals are only useful if you can build a supply chain around them.
Electronics recyclers, glass manufacturers and construction suppliers don't need a one-time salvage lot — they need a consistent specification, a reliable delivery schedule, and a supplier who'll still be operating next year.
