Tens of thousands of aging blades are coming down from steel towers around the world and most have nowhere to go but landfills. In the U.S. alone, about 8,000 will be removed in each of the next four years.

Rien n'est dit au sujet du reste de l'eolienne. Donc quoi ? Les lames sont usées et remplacées ?
L'article est si mauvais que ce n'est pas indiqué, et en regardant le reste de bloomberg c'est du même tonneau, ils font du sensationnel, de longs articles par contre mais qui ne donnent pas des informations vraiment pertinentes.

One start-up, Global Fiberglass Solutions, developed a method to break down blades and press them into pellets and fiber boards to be used for flooring and walls. The company started producing samples at a plant in Sweetwater, Texas, near the continent’s largest concentration of wind farms. It plans another operation in Iowa.

“We can process 99.9% of a blade and handle about 6,000 to 7,000 blades a year per plant,” said Chief Executive Officer Don Lilly. The company has accumulated an inventory of about one year’s worth of blades ready to be chopped up and recycled as demand increases, he said. “When we start to sell to more builders, we can take in a lot more of them. We’re just gearing up.”

Mais donc pourquoi on les enterre ? L'article n'en dira rien. Ah si ! 675000 dollars pour une commune acceptant de les enterrer.

the city gets $675,000 to house turbine blades indefinitely, which can help pay for playground improvements and other services. Landfill manager Cynthia Langston said the blades are much cleaner to store than discarded oil equipment and Casper is happy to take the thousand blades from three in-state wind farms owned by Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s PacifiCorp. Warren Buffett’s utility has been replacing the original blades and turbines with larger, more powerful models after a decade of operation.

Et donc qu'au final on remplace ces éoliennes par des modèles plus efficaces, comprendre plus rentables (plus grosses).

Je reviens donc sur le sujet que le recyclage est techniquement possible mais pas rentable, il en va de même pour le plastique. On n'a pas vraiment un problème d'écologie mais d'économie.
