Recycled blades
Veolia’s recycling process starts when it collects used GE blades from wind farms in the US. Workers cut the blades to make transportation more manageable and then ship them to a processing center in Missouri. That facility shreds the blades into pieces measuring a few centimeters and then sends the material to customers that blend it with the ingredients used for making cement. The properties and performance of the resulting alternative cement closely match those of standard cement. Similar processes are carried out by GE and other companies in Germany and elsewhere in Europe.

That is a great outcome.
However; I would like to see some figures, on the amount of energy used to recycle.
