2022-04-08 Stop Complaining About Wind Turbine Blades!
From FB group It’s not fair and unacceptable to blame wind turbine blades for being a landfill problem. Only 10 to 12% of the total plastic in landfills is due to wind turbine blades. Stop complaining about what’s in the landfills and complain about the plastic waste that’s turning the oceans into trash dumps and

2022-04-05 Wind Turbine Waste Is Insignificant
There are those cynics who harshly criticize wind turbines for “filling up landfills”. That’s a false assertion. These badmouths never say anything about the *other* 87.5 to 90% of plastic waste that is filling up landfills. When compared to the rest of plastic waste, the amount that wind turbine blades generate is insignificant. The blades

2022-04-04 Stop Complaining About Wind Turbine Blades!
Piotrek Puczek Said, “I am being critical because we need to do more to reduce wind turbine production and blade and life recycling.” It’s useless information about how many Teslas fit on a wind turbine blade. The blades last a long time when maintained, and they are developing automated inspection and maintenance equipment. Everyone is

2022-03-19 Pyrolysis For Recycling Wind Turbine Blades
Pyrolysis is a method that can recycle wind turbine blades. It says that wind turbine blades are responsible for 10% of the waste GFRP composites, which implies that wind turbine blades are just a small percentage of the total. https://eandt.theiet.org/content/articles/2022/03/method-for-recycling-wind-turbine-blades-almost-waste-free/
2022-02-27 Recycle Wind Turbine Blades
This YouTube video shows how Veolia and others are recycling wind turbine blades. Veolia makes cement kiln fuel from them. They said that even if the blades ended up in landfills they are only 1/8 of the problem of plastic waste in landfills. https://youtu.be/knX7NkJILhs
