Researchers have created a composite resin they believe can be used in wind turbine blades and later recycled—or upcycled—into a variety of products, including countertops, diapers, and even gummy bears.

Scientists from Michigan State University (MSU) released their findings at a meeting of the American Chemical Society (Aug. 21 to 25), saying the material can be reused “over and over again in an infinite loop.”
