Ming Yang Unveils 361-Foot Carbon-Fiber Blade It Says Is Fully Recyclable

The company cites an ambient-temperature chemical process that separates composites for material recovery.

Overview

  • Ming Yang announced the MySE23X on January 7, calling it the world’s first fully recyclable carbon fiber wind turbine blade.
  • The blade measures over 110 meters (361 feet) and is designed for use on the most powerful offshore turbines.
  • The company says a special degradation solution operating at ambient temperature and pressure enables full material separation for recycling.
  • The design uses recyclable pultruded carbon fiber panels intended to allow recovery and reuse of high-value fiber.
  • Wind’s end-of-life waste challenge is driving this push, with Siemens Gamesa’s roughly 95% recyclable RecyclableBlade already deployed at Kaskasi and Sofia, while Ming Yang’s claim remains company-reported pending independent validation.
