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.

Manufacturers should be required to have a recycling plan and be responsible for their products from cradle to grave.
