About ALTIM RE SRL
Building circular economy infrastructure for retired wind blades.
ALTIM RE SRL is developing a regional recycling hub in Moldova for end-of-life wind turbine blades. Our work connects renewable-energy decommissioning with controlled logistics, mechanical processing and practical industrial reuse pathways.
Who we are
A regional hub for a growing end-of-life challenge.
Our role
As wind energy capacity grows across Europe, more turbine blades will reach retirement. These blades are large, composite-based and difficult to handle with conventional waste systems. ALTIM RE is being built to offer a dedicated pathway from blade collection and preparation to recovered material streams for industrial use.
Our focus
We focus on practical recovery, regional logistics and partnerships with operators, recyclers, cement producers, construction markets and industrial material users.
Our position
Moldova gives ALTIM RE a strategic location to serve regional decommissioning flows and support circular economy infrastructure in Eastern Europe.

Vision
A fully decarbonized recovery operation, by design — not by claim.
We envision an electric transport fleet, a processing hub powered entirely by wind and solar generation, and a logistics network built on rail rather than road wherever the route allows it. We're not adding sustainability to a conventional operation — we're building the operation itself around it, from first cut to final material.
Mission
A complete recovery chain, engineered to be cleaner at every stage.
Our mission is to construct an end-to-end recovery chain for retired wind and solar equipment — spanning on-site preparation, regional logistics and material processing — that runs on fundamentally cleaner energy and transport at every stage, not just in the materials we recover.
Our path to zero emissions
How we get there.
A multi-modal logistics chain already engineered to cut emissions.
Blade sections are cut on-site using diamond wire precision cutting, then moved by truck to a rail hub. From there, they travel by train through to Romania — the single longest leg of the journey — before completing the final distance by truck into Moldova.
That rail leg matters more than it first appears. European freight data consistently shows rail transport emitting 17–18g CO2 per tonne-km, compared to roughly 110–112g for road transport — rail freight produces around six times less CO2 than the equivalent truck journey. One freight train can carry the load of roughly 100 trucks. It's exactly why the EU's Transport 2050 Strategy calls for shifting 30% of long-distance road freight onto rail by 2030, rising past 50% by 2050 — projected to save close to 290 million tonnes of CO2 across Europe. By routing our longest leg through rail, we're following exactly where European transport policy is already steering the entire logistics industry.
Retiring diesel from what remains of the road.
The two truck legs that bookend the rail journey — on-site to the rail hub, and Romania into Moldova — are what we're actively working to electrify. Heavy-duty electric trucks are a real, commercially operating category today, running on European regional and cross-border routes, supported by an expanding Megawatt Charging network that can take a 40-tonne electric truck from 10% to 80% charge in roughly 30 minutes.
Battery-electric heavy trucks already produce roughly 50% lower lifecycle emissions than diesel equivalents — a gap projected to keep widening as European grids keep decarbonizing. Heavy electric trucks are expected to cross 5% of new European sales in 2026 alone, up from under 2% just two years prior. We intend to be inside that curve, not watching it from outside.
A processing hub that generates its own power.
Our facility's steam generation — currently dependent on fossil fuel, like virtually every comparable processing plant — is our next target. Electric steam generation is mature, commercially available technology already used across food processing, pharmaceutical and industrial manufacturing worldwide, converting 98–99% of input energy directly into usable heat, compared to roughly 80–90% for a combustion boiler.
The one real industry caveat: electricity typically costs three to five times more per unit of heat than gas — if you're buying it from the grid. We're not planning to. The economics of electric steam flip decisively in favor once a facility generates its own renewable power on-site — exactly our plan, powering our own hub with the same wind and solar infrastructure knowledge at the center of our business.
A recovery chain where the trucks run on electricity, the long-haul leg runs on rail, and the plant runs on the same renewable power sources it was built to recycle — a genuinely end-to-end, zero-emission operation. Not a claim. A design.
