210527 Cutting waste, reducing lead times & saving money - Creating a circular economy in the Wind Industry

In an increasingly circular economy, the old approach of simply ‘buying new’ is fast becoming obsolete and being replaced with a ‘buy once’ approach - made possible only through efficient refurbishing processes. What can you learn from one company's success story?

Renewable Parts Ltd (winners of the CeeD Industry Awards - Low Carbon Award Winner 2020) has introduced this novel refurbishing parts concept into the UK wind industry. An industry predominantly controlled by OEMs who manufacture and distribute primarily from Europe.

Close collaboration between Renewable Parts Ltd, other industry partners and academics have led to the development of refurbished parts that are equal to, if not better than, the originals. 

Their circular model encourages an almost constant ‘closed loop’ system that is fed by returned used parts in exchange for ‘as new’ refurbished parts. Central to the success of this concept has been the development of a robust reverse logistics operation which was created to counter client objections and inertia.

Join us as we hear how Renewable Parts Ltd have created this successful refurbishing story and perhaps be inspired to look at your products and processes in a different way. 

Renewable Parts Ltd, Michael Forbes, General Manager – Refurbishment Engineering

Date: 27th May 2021 Time: 10h30 – 11h30   Virtual Platform: Details to be shared prior to the event

The format for this event will be a webinar followed by a question-and-answer session.

Don’t miss this great opportunity to be inspired by a circular success story!
