        Thanks! I didn’t know they were normally made of composites.

        Looks like there are some ways (1, 2) to reuse/recycle the latter, but I agree wood would be better for this.

      The blades are mainly made of fibre-reinforced plastics. These are pretty much not recyclable. There are some projects that use structures made of cutouts of old blades though.
