Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer (wandereruber@poa.st)'s status on Friday, 22-Mar-2024 22:42:11 JSTWanderer über dem Nebelmeer @Lyle @doonxib @db @sickburnbro These articles are basically all copying each other. Just like they all copied the concept of 'carbon-footprint' from a British Petroleum press release that they made to shift blame away from huge corps to individuals.
I've put together some links (bit of a hassle to find these because I don't speak the language. Some german-only sources so far, but I'm sure there is more in french and from the scandies):
(2021) wir-recyceln-fasern.de/2023/01/10/wir-sind-nicht-allein-startups-zum-recycling-von-faserverbundwerkstoffen/
(sadly google translate doesn't want to work here, you can translate it with firefox' internal tool though)
(unknown date)
energiewinde.orsted.de/energiewirtschaft/recycling-windraeder-rotorblaetter-gfk
Something interesting here: 'The number of wind turbines mined is still too small, so that from the point of view of experts there is too little material for economically sensible recycling.'
It can't be both a terrible burden on the environment and at the same time a miniscule amount.

This is a key one. 90% of the turbine is ALREADY recycled, it's really just the blade and there's factories being built, in addition to the companies that already do it, see the first link.
