In 2022, after years of market and material research, Mikko Ruohoranta and Timo Hovi formally teamed up with a completely new idea of disposing used wind turbines. Mikko has 15 years experience of construction, transport and wind power industry. Timo has 15 years of experience of enhanced materials handling, recycling and environmental engineering.

Idea to establish Lapa Recycling was born when two engineers from different industries realized that we have a huge growing problem that no one in the Nordics have any good solution. Burning and burying composite materials can not be the only path we want to follow in the 2020's. It is a complete waste of energy and resources while we already are battling catastrophic climate change.

During the past years Mikko & Timo searched for strong partners for the cause. Being backed up by the top engineers in their fields throughout Europe, Lapa Recycling received all the technical information and assistance it ever needed. Everyone in Europe shared the same concern and were willing to support Lapa and its journey.

In the beginning of January 2023 Lapa Recycling finally listed in the Finnish Trade Registry. Since then Lapa has signed a number of strategic partnerships and has received its first recyclable blades.

During first complete year 2023 Lapa Recycling scrapped and recycled appx. 150 tons of composite materials, and cleaned 3 square kilometers of debris from the Finland's forests.

After various contacts and requests Lapa Recycling started offering also aerial inspections and washing services for wind turbine components. Today Lapa has also readiness to blow up and relandscape wind turbine foundations.

The future for Lapa is bright!
