"In a statement Thursday, Swedish energy firm Vattenfall said some of the wind turbines at the 1.5 gigawatt Hollandse Kust Zuid facility would use Siemens Gamesa's RecycableBlades.
The issue of what to do with wind turbine blades when they're no longer needed is a headache for the industry. That's because the composite materials that blades are made from can be difficult to recycle, which means that many end up in landfills when their service life ends.
With governments around the world attempting to ramp up their renewable energy capacity, the number of wind turbines worldwide only looks set to grow, which will in turn increase pressure on the sector to find sustainable solutions to the disposal of blades."...
