Given the huge number of wind turbines that are being created, and are eventually going to reach end of their life.
It is therefore odd that it has taken so long for people to start to make the blades recyclable. The thermoset composites are able to be split and then broken down into their initial component parts. These parts can then be reused as though they are raw materials just created. Indeed at the current time, the only part of a wind turbine that could not be recycled was the blades. As a result, wind turbines can become completely green after manufacture.
This destroys one of the few remaining arguments against wind turbines, and should make way for a significant worldwide increase in turbine deployment.
