Turbine blades are manufactured using some of the highest-performance metals in engineering, including nickel-based superalloys, titanium and heat-resistant aerospace alloys. When these blades reach end-of-life or are removed during maintenance, they must be processed through specialist recycling channels to recover valuable materials safely and compliantly.
Countrywide Metals provides professional Turbine Blade Recycling services throughout Birmingham, the Midlands and the entire UK. We support aerospace manufacturers, MRO facilities, engineering firms, and aviation suppliers requiring a trusted partner to collect, handle and recycle turbine blades and associated components.
Whether you are disposing of small quantities, operational wear scrap or entire batches of removed blades, our service ensures full traceability, environmental responsibility and competitive recovery value.
Turbine blades operate in extremely high-temperature and high-stress environments. As a result, they are manufactured from complex superalloys containing:
These materials cannot be processed through standard metal recycling channels. Our specialist recycling partners ensure these metals are recovered, refined and returned to the manufacturing supply chain.
This service works seamlessly alongside our Aircraft Parts Recycling and Industrial Scrap Metal Collection for clients handling mixed aerospace scrap.
Our turbine blade recycling service is used by:
We offer flexible collections, from single consignments to ongoing recycling contracts.
We operate across:
Collections can be arranged quickly, whether you’re recycling a single batch or conducting a large-scale facility clearance. This service can also be combined with our Factory Clearance offering for full-site recycling programmes.
As a family-owned and operated business, we prioritise integrity, trust, and long-term relationships. Our familial values permeate our business practices, fostering a culture of accountability and customer-centricity.
With years of experience in the industry, we possess deep insights and understanding of market dynamics, regulatory frameworks, and technological advancements. This experience allows us to stay ahead of industry trends & deliver innovative solutions.
Our in-house logistics team and dedicated export department streamline operations and ensure seamless delivery of products to destinations worldwide. We prioritise efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and timely execution in all logistical processes.
Recycling turbine blades offers several important benefits:
More information on industrial waste regulations can be found via the Environment Agency Waste Guidance.
Because superalloys are expensive to produce and resource-intensive to mine, recycling provides significant value back into the aerospace supply chain.
We follow a controlled, compliant recycling workflow:
This ensures transparency, safety and environmental responsibility at every stage.
