Who says it can't be recycled? Based on what? Steel is one of the most recycled materials. You don't have to like enviropsycho power, but don't get basic shit like that wrong

Modern turbine blades are built from composite materials - older blades from glass fibre, newer ones from carbon fibre. Such composite materials might be light and strong, but they are also extremely hard to recycle.

Ok, so the BLADES can't be recycled. Yeah, carbon fiber isn't really recyclable . You said "most" so I thought that was weird

I wasn't the one that said most, I was just pointing out that the massive blades that make up a large percentage of the units is in fact not recyclable.
