In this episode on sustainability in engineering & manufacturing, Samantha spoke to Ryan McCuaig, lead product development engineer at Renewable Parts, about the circular economy. He spoke about how they're remanufacturing wind turbine gearboxes and other critical components, not just keeping them out of skips, but to perform even better than when they were new, getting turbines back online in under a week, and how SMEs are leading the charge on the circular economy across all sectors. Since we recorded this conversation, the team at Renewable Parts have been recognised with the CeeD Circular Economy award for this outstanding work.
