Any thoughts on this, which is principle sounds very promising, as it applies to existing as well as new blades?

I don't know whether it has moved forward since the original announcement in 2023.

It certainly sounds promising, although there is little detail in that announcement. I just wonder (as with all lab-scale ideas) how much it would cost to implement? If it's more expensive than landfill, what will give them the incentive to bother?

I found a bit more. It does sound like they're actually using the process, or will be soon.

Siemens is on it as well.

Thanks, interesting. As I understand it, that involves a new recyclable blade design, which is great, but in theory the Vestas solution can deal with all the existing blades out there when they reach end of life, and not just new ones. But it's not clear to me that it's being used in practice.

Yes, I do not have any insight on the retroactive possibilities beyond the same reference you have, unfortunately.
