The method would help find a second life for the plastics that make up the bulk of thousands of turbine blades in the U.S.

Recycling massive wind turbine blades can be difficult because they're built from sturdy materials to weather the elements ...

In their work, the researchers soaked the blade material in a mild solution of zinc acetate, which is used in medicines, such as in throat lozenges and food additives. The mild solution allowed the ...

Researchers developed a process to recycle glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP), a common material in wind turbine blades. They cut the lightweight material into two-inch blocks, soaked them in ...
