Circularity solution to end landfill for epoxy-based resin turbine blades

https://electrek.co/2023/02/08/wind-turbine-recycle-blades/

"a novel process that can chemically break down epoxy resin into virgin-grade materials from legacy blade material currently sitting in landfill as well as blade material in active wind farms... newly established value chain, supported by Nordic recycling firm Stena Recycling and Olin... The four industry and academic partners formed a coalition called the CETEC project – Circular Economy for Thermosets Epoxy Composites"
