Scientists have created wind turbine blades that can be recycled into gummy bears.

American scientists have combined fiberglass with synthetic and vegetable polymers and obtained a composite resin for wind turbine blades, which can be processed into similar devices or gummy bears. Sweets can be made from purified potassium lactate - it remains after the resin is boiled down in an alkaline solution. In addition, the alkaline breakdown of the resin releases the acrylic material PMMA - organic glass, from which car headlights are also made. The new resin will help get rid of waste, since ordinary blades are simply thrown into the landfill - they are often not recyclable.
