A newly opened Fairfax facility debuted its brand-new turbine blade recycling process, touting it as a more environmentally friendly method of dealing with damaged or outdated turbine blades. The patent-pending processing facility, operated by REGEN Fiber, is capable of shredding up roughly 12 tons worth of blades per hour. The process separates out the non-recyclable materials to create a shredded fiberglass composite. Those varieties of shredded fiberglass come in both a fine powder and various sizes. Once the facility is up and running, those recycled materials are going to be made available for use in construction materials like concrete or asphalt at the discretion of the contractors.
