because they are not bound together any more. you can see it's very clearly separated into its different components. that means the fibres and even that type epoxy resin could be recovered and potentially reused. this has been quite remarkable. we thought that these materials were extremely strong and indestructible. now, we've found the chemical processing that can chew its way through the epoxy. and, in theory, it could work on all kinds of turbine blades already out there. what we find exciting is we are sort of the first to be able to do that. there are potentials in recycling such tough materials, not only confined to the wind turbine industry, there is the aeronautic industry, space industry, cars. this technology still needs to make the leap from a test tube to the real world. but with new solutions on the table, perhaps this growing waste problem could be headed off before it gets too big. and that's it for our round—up of some of the latest sustainability stories. hope you've enjoyed them.
