Well... technically... some people are starting to https://www.energy.gov/eere/wind/articles/carbon-rivers-makes-wind-turbine-blade-recycling-and-upcycling-reality-support https://www.energy.gov/eere/wind/articles/carbon-rivers-make... but this also produces energy and compared to the amount of electricity they produce during their lifetime this carebon can only be incredibly negligible
- XorNot 2y agoPyrolysis is not burning - from your link: > Carbon Rivers’ recycling uses pyrolysis—a process during which organic components of a composite (e.g., resins or polymers) are broken down with intense heat in the absence of oxygen and separated from the inorganic fiberglass reinforcement.
- xcskier56 2y agoKeep reading > The process converts organic products back into raw hydrocarbon products called syngas and pyrolysis oil, which can be used for energy production. Which in a video I can't find they talk about piping this to a concrete plant that was burning it for their heating needs
