Recyclable Soft Cover (Orsted – Hornsea 3)
TME has developed an innovative recyclable tarpaulin material for monopile covers, aiming to reduce landfill waste and support sustainability in the offshore wind sector. This new material is set to prevent 10 tonnes of waste per offshore project, contributing to a more sustainable future for renewable energy.
After extensive testing and exploration of recycling options, TME's material has been proven to protect offshore assets effectively while being fully recyclable after construction. The material will be used at Ørsted’s Hornsea 3 project, the world’s largest offshore wind farm.
As Ørsted notes: "This collaboration demonstrates that it’s possible to eliminate waste from the outset without compromising on quality."
