Our purpose is to market a design strategy to (re)use EOL blades in large-scale design as a viable alternative to, or step prior to, blade recycling. Wind turbine blades have inherent design, engineering, material, aesthetic, ergonomic and iconic properties that make them suitable as building elements. Especially for large scale infrastructure, facade elements and outdoor urban furniture.<\/p>\n<p>With an appropriate design approach, EOL blades can add great social, environmental and economic value to design projects while storing blades in functional upcycled use until viable recycling or other disposal methods are fully developed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-4 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:50%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.84%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.84%;--awb-width-medium:50%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:3.84%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:3.84%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-image-element \" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-2 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1600\" title=\"BladeMade_BladeBench_IMG1_WM_2400x1600\" src=\"http:\/\/blade-made.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/BladeMade_BladeBench_IMG1_WM_2400x1600.jpg\" alt class=\"img-responsive wp-image-1816\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blade-made.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/BladeMade_BladeBench_IMG1_WM_2400x1600-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/blade-made.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/BladeMade_BladeBench_IMG1_WM_2400x1600-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blade-made.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/BladeMade_BladeBench_IMG1_WM_2400x1600-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blade-made.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/BladeMade_BladeBench_IMG1_WM_2400x1600-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blade-made.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/BladeMade_BladeBench_IMG1_WM_2400x1600-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/blade-made.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/BladeMade_BladeBench_IMG1_WM_2400x1600.jpg 2400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-870","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blade-made.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/870","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blade-made.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blade-made.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blade-made.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blade-made.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=870"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/blade-made.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/870\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1976,"href":"https:\/\/blade-made.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/870\/revisions\/1976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blade-made.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=870"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
