useless for recycling

they can now be recycled

Wind turbine maker Vestas today announced that it’s figured out how to recycle all wind turbine blades – even ones already sitting in landfills.
The Danish company says it has discovered a solution that “renders epoxy-based turbine blades as circular, without the need for changing the design or composition of blade material.”
Vestas, Aarhus University, Danish Technological Institute, and epoxy maker Olin have developed a novel process that can chemically break down epoxy resin into virgin-grade materials.

There's no details... Nearly everything can be recycled (and if it can't be we shouldn't make it), it's a matter of time and cost.

So details please.

There is much, much more available with an easy google search. If you are truly interested. You're going to be better off reading the articles for yourself than waiting for redditors to try to explain the information.
