Difficult to recycle parts of wind turbine blades utilized for cement production: organic content burned as fuel and ash integrated into cement

https://windeurope.org/newsroom/news/windeurope-ceo-visits-german-cement-plant-thats-running-on-blade-waste/

"waste management company Geocycle is pioneering this recovery technology through cement co-processing at the Holcim Lägerdorf plant in Northern Germany... [longer term, the] wind industry is working with the chemicals and composites industries to develop technologies to recycle blade waste, but it’ll be 2030 before they’re fully deployable at scale"
