Grasim, Aditya Birla Renewables and Suzlon Sign MoU to Pilot Wind Turbines with Recyclable Blades Using Recyclamine Epoxy Technology
Grasim Industries’ Advanced Materials Division and its renewable arm, Aditya Birla Renewables (ABRen), have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Suzlon Energy Limited. The MoU covers a pilot for developing, commercialising and scaling wind turbines with recyclable blades. It was signed at the Bharat Renewable Energy Summit and Expo 2026.
Suzlon, as the wind turbine OEM, will integrate Grasim’s Recyclamine technology into blade manufacturing. Grasim will supply the Recyclamine epoxy technology, which enables chemically recyclable composite blades. The blades can be chemically recycled, allowing valuable composite materials to be recovered and reused.
ABRen will install one of these turbines at a live project site to test its commercial performance under real-world conditions. The partners will also explore wider commercialisation and market adoption of recyclable-blade turbines in India and other agreed markets.
Suzlon has stated that it aims to make all its future turbines recyclable within the next three to four years. Reports so far give no financial value, no size for the demonstration turbine and no installation date.
