"The newly discovered chemical process shows that epoxy-based turbine blades, whether in operation or sitting in landfill, can be turned into a source of raw material to potentially build new turbine blades. As the chemical process relies on widely available chemicals, it is highly compatible for industrialisation, and can therefore be scaled up quickly. This innovation would not have been possible without the ground-breaking CETEC collaboration between industry and academia enabling our progress until this point," says Mie Elholm Birkbak, Specialist, Innovation & Concepts at Vestas.

What of the glass fibers? That is a lot of what is left in composite after it is cured (and why it hasn't been recyclable thus far - the fiber can be recovered and reused).
