EMR manufacturing supply chains,” Bill says.“ There are several elements to consider. The tower steel, which we call low-residual steel, is well suited to electric arc furnace steel production, for example, while the fiberglass blades are mechanically recycled into polymers and steel is extracted from the turbine’ s foundations. We’ ve recently completed a project for a large energy generator where we’ re proud to have achieved a 99 percent recycling rate for one of their first offshore wind turbines.”
As EMR continues to embrace technical innovations and work with manufacturers to establish new processes, its capabilities are constantly expanding, positioning the business at the forefront of circular supply chains. Recycling ten million tons of material each year, EMR’ s operations are ensuring that today’ s discarded materials become tomorrow’ s sustainable products, and ones that can be easily recycled time and time again.
“ We’ re constantly striving to understand what our customers need and innovating to design recycling solutions to meet those needs,” Helen affirms.“ There’ s always so much change in the recycling world, and we’ re passionate about working with our customers to play a leading role in the design of new, low-carbon products that are easily recyclable when they reach end-of-life.”
Offering his final thoughts, Patrick concludes:“ The stock of materials available in the products of today will be turned into the building blocks of tomorrow’ s innovations, which will be returned to us for recycling once again. That’ s the beauty of circular economies; they’ re ongoing and so our mission will never end.” ■
