They're not a problem. It's simply that in countries which still allow landfills it's the most cost efficient method since fiberglass itself is very low value. You also have the trouble of that wind turbines designed 20-30 years ago didn't have recycling in mind so they. It is a completely made up issue to allow the nuclear industry to say "what about wind turbine blades?!" trying to draw an equivalency between nuclear waste and inert fiber glass. > 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. > “Physical and material scientists can recycle blades now," Eric Lantz, wind analysis manager at National Renewable Energy Laboratory told USA TODAY in an email. "But, broadly speaking, scaling up recycling technologies will require more research and development to maximize the value of the recycled materials and improve the economics of the processes.” https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/11/30/fact-check-recycling-can-keep-wind-turbine-blades-out-landfills/8647981002/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/11/30/fac...
