About Renewable Parts

Renewable Parts is a pioneering organisation proactively working to de-carbonise the wind industry since 2011.  We recirculate components for turbines that would normally be sent to scrap and landfill, and we help to maximise turbine uptime by reducing lead time through our experienced supply chain network. Earlier this year, Renewable Parts opened the USA’s first wind turbine component recirculation centre in Texas.
