Swansea Investment Holdings (3708) has joined forces with Siemens Gamesa and global energy major RWE to deploy recyclable epoxy resin (EzCiclo) in turbine blades for the UK s Sofia offshore wind farm, setting a new benchmark for sustainable offshore energy.

Swansea Investment Holdings announced on August 29 that recyclable blades manufactured with Siemens Gamesa s EzCiclo resin will be used at the Sofia offshore wind farm, a flagship project in the North Sea. With a total installed capacity of 1,400MW, the project will feature Siemens SG14-222 wind turbines, each capable of generating up to 14MW, with blades measuring up to 108 meters.

The recyclable epoxy resin is produced at Swancor s Taiwan facility and will be applied to blades for up to 50 turbines. This innovation enables a recyclability rate of more than 90%, making Sofia the world s first large-scale offshore wind farm to integrate recyclable blade technology. The initiative addresses one of the sector s biggest sustainability challenges, end-of-life turbine blade disposal, while advancing circular economy goals.

Our collaboration with the Sofia offshore wind farm demonstrates that recyclable resin technology is no longer just a laboratory innovation, but a real-world solution for the global offshore wind industry, said Cai Xiaode, General Manager of Swansea Investment Holdings. He added that the company will continue to invest in pioneering R&D, international partnerships, and diversified green energy ventures to accelerate the industry s low-carbon transition.
