The catch here is that while wind turbine blade recycling is technically possible, landfill disposal remains the most cost-efficient and accessible option in many cases.
I read somewhere that windmill blades will make up 1% of landfill volume by 2050, very cool
They can be recycled, but as usual market liberalism won't change anything unless bourgeois overlords can profit.

Absolute madness that we let the "market" dictate recycling. Reduce, reuse, recycle. Unless it's unprofitable.
Surely the market won't minimize its costs by offloading them as an unpriced public detriment.

While the last one isn't done by most of society
And reduce and reuse being the more important but less popular ideas.
