Sustainability Performance 2021

LM Wind Power blades are designed to last for 20-25 years 2. In the process of making blades, our plants consume energy and generate waste which is managed carefully according to the highest environmental standards. 1. The life cycle of a blade starts with the extraction of material that comes to our manufacturing facilities and is turned into high quality wind turbine blades. 3. Our customers take over the blades when they roll out of the factory doors and take them to their designated destination for installation on a wind turbine. 5. At the end of the blade’s lifetime, the most common disposal method is either incineration or landfill, but LM Wind Power is working on various alternatives with a better Sustainability profile. 4. Once installed in the field, the blades can generate clean, renew- able electricity for 20-25 years. LMWind Power Product Life Cycle 11 | LM WIND POWER SUSTAINABILITY PERFORMANCE 2021
