🌬️ Turning wind into wins In Rotterdam, the circular economy innovations aim to inspire and set an example for other cities. Did you know that the amount of discarded wind turbine blades in Europe is increasing annually, with an estimated 400,000 tonnes by 2030 and double that by 2050? Rotterdam-based companies are reusing materials, including blades from decommissioned wind turbines, to give them a new life and purpose. Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/exYcKa_w.

Thank you Rotterdam Partners for addressing the importance of closing the loop after a first life as wind generator… the blades are too durable and beautiful to let them loose their value while they can be used for so many functional applications. So let’s talk, bridges, sound barriers, building material, planters, green barriers, urban furniture, bike racks, etc etc Looking forward to to your call 📞 And credits also for our other founders Jan Willem de Laive and Tonny (Antonia) Wormer who are so passionately involved in Blade–Made
I had to blink for one second, realizing it was two pictures instead of photoshopped turbines in the background of Blade–Made playground Wikado!

Not so healthy as we think. And very ugly
Beter a playground
Love this!
Cool!
