Denmark: Continuum to build factories for recycling wind turbine blades

Danish company Continuum plans to build six factories for the recycling of end-of-life wind turbine blades. The first factory will be located in Esbjerg, Denmark, and is expected to be operational by the end of 2024, followed by a second factory in the UK. After the first two factories, Continuum plans to build four more by 2030 in France, Germany, Spain, and Turkey. Each factory will have the capacity to recycle a minimum of 36,000 tonnes of wind turbine blades per year. The wind turbine blades will be recycled into composite panels for the construction industry among other things. Continuum has received funds from the Danish venture capital firm Climentum Capital and from the UK's Offshore Wind Growth Partnership (OWGP).
