Waterwatchers Take Action

This project will overcome several impediments to consistent and cost-effective processing of recyclate derived from wind turbines. In particular, densification of “fluffy” recyclate from the grinding and separation stages of the Company's proprietary process will enhance (1) its ability to be compounded with new polymers as well as (2) the efficiency with which it can be shipped and (3) the safety with which it can be handled.
