Recycling Initiative


We aim to provide a sustainable strategy for recycling and repurposing wind turbine blades. With over 40 years of composites expertise and strong Canadian partnerships, our plan supports Canada’s net-zero and circular economy goals, offering an effective alternative to landfill disposal.

Repurposing Decommissioned Wind Turbine Blades into Shelters, Sheds, and Other Structures


MCS is dedicated to the recovery and recycling of wind turbine blades from wind farms across Canada, with a strong emphasis on economic feasibility, environmental sustainability, and social responsibility. Once recycled, the reclaimed materials will be transformed into innovative products such as emergency shelters, outdoor restrooms, first aid stations, and warming or cooling stations for construction sites. Additionally, products designed for homeowners—like sheds, bunkies, and greenhouses—can be equipped with solar, wind, or hybrid power and water systems.

MCS is committed to embracing circular economy principles by ensuring that each new product created from blade waste is marked with its origin and includes a manufacturer’s certificate. This certificate guarantees that products can be returned for recycling at the end of their lifecycle, effectively closing the loop.

The Recommended Approach for Managing Your Blade Waste Until Re-Powering


As Ontario anticipates a substantial increase in wind turbine blade waste by 2030-32, the need for responsible recycling solutions becomes critical. With an estimated 1,230 blades yielding approximately 2,268 tonnes of material, our commitment to address this challenge is paramount. We specialize in collecting and recycling blades deemed irreparable, promoting sustainability within the wind energy sector.


Our extensive range of services, including maintenance and repair, ensures optimal turbine performance, while our upcoming recycling initiatives aim to transform waste into valuable resources. Partnering with us means contributing to a sustainable future for wind energy in Canada.
