Blade-Made

Blade-Made is a Dutch company that gives a second life to end-of-life wind turbine blades and nacelles, composite components in glass and carbon fibre reinforced plastics that are difficult to recycle. It is based at Maasboulevard 100, in the BlueCity building in Rotterdam, and grew out of Superuse Studios, the Rotterdam practice known for building with reused materials.

The name started in 2021 as a trademark to bring Superuse’s ideas to market, with New Citizen Design and Newton Brown Urban Design extending the network across Europe and North America; in December 2023 it became a company, Blade-Made BV. Blades are treated as building elements for facades, infrastructure and outdoor furniture, with products such as Blade Barrier and the Nacelle Micro Home. In the Netherlands it works with Business in Wind and Dura Vermeer Urban Miner.
