Are these the only green technology items that will prove hard to recycle or is this the tip of the iceberg?

What of solar panels, or batteries for instance?

The Planet Of The Humans - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zk11vI-7czE has a pessimistic view on the current technologies.

I sort of read that area. It seems to be a trait of modern materials, which are often new and exciting composites that pose new and exciting challenges when they have to be taken apart for recycling.

New wind turbines use modern composites not because they're green, but because they're new. If you want a longer lighter blade for your wind turbine you use the latest strongest composite. If you want a thinner lighter doodah you do the same kind of thing, independent of whether that doodah has a greenish tinge or not.
