Hi Opti,

Not aviation per se, but here is an article on the problem of recycling (or not) the thousands of wind turbine blades that reach end of life.

SMN could surely use our technology to monitor and safely extend the 'life' of these blades. I had not realised quite how big this industry and opportunity is becoming.

Welcome to the wind turbine graveyard. It stretches a hundred metres from a bend in the North Platte River in Casper, Wyoming.

Between last September and this March, it will become the final resting place for 1,000 fibreglass turbine blades.

These blades, which have reached the end of their 25-year working lives, come from three wind farms in the north-western US state. Each is about 90m (300ft) long, and will be cut into three, then the pieces will be stacked and buried.
