Texas Scorecard By Addie Hovland February 6, 2026
Although Global LLC closed its two facilities in Sweetwater in 2020, turbine parts were still accumulating at the site.
Attorney General Ken Paxton filed suit against a recycling company and other affiliates for unauthorized disposal of industrial solid waste after it was discovered that the company was illegally disposing of wind turbine parts in Sweetwater.
Global Fiberglass Solutions of Texas LLC, whose primary place of business is located in Kirkland, Washington, was hired by multiple companies to break down and recycle turbine blades and parts. According to Paxton’s suit, the company failed to properly dispose of the materials and have instead created a stockpile of over 3,000 turbine parts.
“Illegal disposal of wind turbines hurts our land and will never be permitted under my watch,” said Paxton. “Just because the radical left calls something a ‘green industry’ does not give any company a free pass to harm Texas countryside, break our laws, and leave Texans to deal with the negative impacts.”
The company originally came under scrutiny in 2018 after the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality received an anonymous complaint. The agency investigated the company’s two locations in Sweetwater.
