Standardization as the key to sustainability and efficiency in the dismantling of wind turbines

Due to the rolling towards us, dismantling of old installations, the proper dismantling and Recycling of wind turbines is a growing challenge. The Association RDR Wind e.V. has set itself the task of developing innovative and sustainable solutions. A central approach is the establishment of a DIN standard that standardizes the process of dismantling and recycling debit. But why is such standardization necessary and how can it be actually save costs?

DIN standard for dismantling and the Recycling – Interview with Frank Kroll

In an exclusive interview with Frank Kroll, the chairman of the board of RDR Wind e.V., will answer these questions. dealt with in detail. Kroll explains the motivation behind the initiative to create a DIN standard for dismantling: "Our goal is to standardisation, safety, efficiency and environmental compatibility in the industry. This not only contributes to environmental protection, but also also optimises cost structures over the entire life cycle of a wind turbine."

IKEA is leading the way!

The prejudice that standards only cost make things more complicated and bring little benefit, will be often discussed in business circles. Frank Kroll disagrees Acceptance with a vivid comparison: "Let us take the example of a Swedish furniture dealer. By standardizing their production processes the company was able to achieve significant efficiency gains and reduce costs at the same time. In addition, as users, we find it easier to Structure of the pieces of furniture when we have learned and internalized the processes. Similar This is the case with standardization in the dismantling of wind turbines. One standardised process makes it possible to exploit economies of scale and eliminate sources of error. and ultimately reduce the costs and "nerves" for all parties involved. "We are not going to be able

RDR Wind Creates Important Network Effects within the industry!

RDR Wind e.V. promotes through its work not only the development and dissemination of new professional applications and processes in the wind industry, but also actively supports the work of national and international technical committees and working groups. This Commitment is reflected in continuous information, networking and press and public relations work, which promotes the discourse on sustainable practices in the wind energy industry.

The future challenges of the wind industry, such as the imminent wave of dismantling and the scarce resources, require innovative solutions and cooperation. With the establishment of a DIN Standard for the dismantling and recycling of wind turbines provided by RDR Wind e.V. makes a decisive contribution to securing a sustainable future for the Wind power.
