Blade–Made is an impact-driven company that repurposes decommissioned wind turbine blades into functional and sustainable urban structures. By transforming these composite materials, which are challenging to recycle, Blade–Made creates a variety of products, including playgrounds, urban furniture, bridges, and sound barriers.
Founded in 2021 as a collaboration between Superuse, New Citizen Design, and Newton Brown Urban Design, Blade–Made focuses on Europe and North America to address the growing issue of wind turbine blade waste. Their approach not only diverts these large components from landfills and incineration but also contributes to significant carbon reduction—up to 90% compared to conventional solutions in the same category.
By integrating end-of-life blades into new constructions, Blade–Made promotes a circular economy and raises awareness about sustainable design practices. Their projects demonstrate the potential for innovative reuse of materials, offering environmentally friendly alternatives for urban development.
