In regards to the wind turbines, I don't know exactly how fibreglass gets recycled, and if so into what?
I've seen several stories over the year about the disposal of the blades, it's not an isolated case.
Not Tesla's gigafactory but the CEO is JB Straubel who was one Tesla's founders. https://www.redwoodmaterials.com/

Also https://www.cellcycle.co.uk/ and numerous other start-ups internationally.

As far as using recycled fibreglass read my linked article.
Yes I've heard about him too, his company looks like a good startup.
I was pretty sure I read somewhere that tesla was also planning to perform I'm house battery recycling at their Texas gigagactory. It would make sense if they did, but will probably be a while before they begin.
Lithium is a valuable resource with incentives to recycle and the Anti EV brigade keep making a big deal about it when it's a nonexistent issue.
