Hagshaw Hill, one of Britain's earliest wind farms in Scotland, has been fully decommissioned, with less than 0.1% of the old turbines sent to landfill. Nearly all components were recycled, demonstrating that ageing wind infrastructure can be dismantled sustainably. Environmental commentators are highlighting the project as proof that wind power's end-of-life waste problem can be largely avoided.
Why now: It offers reassurance amid debate about what happens to old wind turbines, showing near-total recycling is achievable.
