China’s Ming Yang Smart Energy said it has rolled out the MySE23X, which it described as the world’s first fully recyclable carbon fibre wind turbine blade, marking a step toward more sustainable materials in the wind power industry.
The blade exceeds 110 metres in length and is designed to optimise degradation conditions while expanding the range of recyclable materials used, the company said. Ming Yang added that the design incorporates ambient temperature and pressure degradation technology, allowing composite materials to be chemically separated under relatively mild conditions using a specific degradation solution.
A recyclable carbon fibre pultruded panel is used to provide high-strength, lightweight structural support, while enabling the complete recycling of the carbon fibre, the company said.
“The milestone marks a quantum leap in materials science,” Ming Yang said in a statement, adding that the development reinforces its environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitment to building a more sustainable wind energy value chain.
Ming Yang said it aims to provide future-oriented sustainable energy system solutions and to help guide the wind sector toward a circular, renewable and carbon-neutral model.
