Original Note:
This was true in the past but not now. Even then it was only partially true given this is just the blades and most of a turbine 90%+ is recyclable steel. Today almost all wind turbine companies ban landfill. E.g. https://orsted.com/en/insights/the-fact-file/can-wind-turbines-be-recycled#:~:text=When%20wind%20turbines%20eventually%20reach,what%20they're%20made%20of. Siemens Gamesa is already producing a fully recyclable blade. https://www.siemensgamesa.com/global/en/home/explore/journal/recyclable-blade.html
