As an example of the supplier engagement programme development, we initiated a collaboration with wind turbine manufacturer Siemens Gamesa to use recycled glass fibres for certain new wind turbine blades at our Greater Changhua 2b and 4 offshore wind farms in Taiwan. The intended outcome of our supplier engagement and procurement strategy is to have a firm set of circularity-related supplier requirements in place within the next four to five years. For selected components, recycled materials have already been introduced as a sourcing evaluation criterion, ensuring our gradual transition away from the use of virgin resources.

Our collaborations with Plaswire and SOLARCYCLE are examples of how we engage with partners on our material resource-related impacts. Over the past few years, we have successfully carried out several small-scale recycling pilots in the US and the UK and will continue to leverage retired blades and panels from our assets to help accelerate the maturation of promising, innovative, recycling technologies and solutions in our markets going forward.
