On the steering board, “Scottish Renewables joins The Crown Estate, Crown Estate Scotland, BVG Associates, RenewableUK, ZeroWaste Scotland, Net Zero Technology Centre and Vestas”, said NCC. “Collectively, they provide strategic guidance to a community of stakeholders in the composite industry and energy sector that work towards creating end-of-life value from past and current generations of turbine blades, and embedding circularity principles at the heart of future generations of turbines.”

Scottish Renewables is a trade body for organisations in on-shore wind, off-shore wind, hydropower, hydrogen, solar, tidal and wave energy.


“Given Scottish Renewables’ leading role in the energy sector, collaborating with SusWIND for early supply chain intervention will accelerate the circularity of our renewable energy project pipeline,” said for Scottish Renewables director of on-shore Morag Watson.


NCC is part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult. It works with aerospace, energy, defence, space, construction, infrastructure, auto, rail, marine and biomedical organisations of any size, “providing businesses with a de-risked environment to design, develop, test and scale ideas and get them to market fast”, said NCC.
