Wind power accounted for 8.1% of world electricity in 2024, generating 2,494 TWh of clean power using massive wind turbines onshore and offshore.
Blade Made, a company based in the Netherlands, is repurposing decommissioned wind turbines into various projects like park benches, playground equipment, sculptural seating, and even tiny homes.
Their innovative projects include a prototype tiny home named Nestle, made from the nacelle of a wind turbine in collaboration with Superuse.
Blade Made envisions a sustainable future by reusing wind turbine parts, such as creating a highway sound barrier from decommissioned wind turbine blades, showcasing the diverse possibilities of second-life applications.
