Sustainable solution to recycling wind turbine blades

Recycling wind turbine blades at the end of life has is not currently possible and many have ended up in landfill sites. The problem is so severe that several European countries have banned dumping the blades in landfill. However, Danish researchers have found a way to recycle the blades using a specially designed catalyst.
