1. Introduction The data published in this article are part of work related to calculating and reducing the carbon footprint value for the full life cycle of a generator from a small-scale wind turbine. This work draws from previous research experience related to materials recycling and the circular economy [1,2,3]. The analysis considered the transport of neodymium magnets, which possess unique properties that influence their handling during transport.

1. Introduction In recent years, there has been an increase in interest in new reports on the recovery of valuable raw materials which are often of strategic and critical importance for the economy. The recycling of equipment related to the production of renewable energy is an increasingly important issue in the context of the fight against climate change and sustainable development [1,2,3]. A small-power wind turbine generator is a complex device that uses various metals in its manufacture.
