It could be a game-changer, but there are a lot of questions to answer.

Vestas has divulged very little information so far on how its new technology recovers the plastic used to make turbine blades. But if the company can pull it off, it would be a game-changer for the wind industry, particularly since there are major challenges to overcome.

To start, the turbine blades are not made from ordinary plastic. Vestas says it has found a way to recycle, which is like plastic on steroids. It’s been chemically engineered to be nearly indestructible. That makes it tough enough to make parts for planes, spacecraft, and wind turbines, of course. So far, the company has only had success demonstrating this process on a small scale using “pieces of turbine blades.” After a couple more years, Birkbak says, “we expect to have an understanding of how this will look on an industrial scale.” Vestas is working with Olin and recycling company Stena Recycling to scale up this pilot project.

TLDR; they don't know and are not telling. PS why do you hire racist monsters?
