What We Can Do
Blade End-Of-Life Management
BladeBridge collaborates with wind farm owners & operators to provide sustainable end-of-life options for decommissioned blade material.
Circular Design
Leveraging research-driven methodologies, we evaluate the residual strength of the blades and design innovative products and infrastructure to repurpose them.
Sustainable Products
Our products use blades as a substitute for high-carbon raw material, creating infrastructure with significantly lower environmental impact which is in-line with green public procurement initiatives.
