There really isn’t a good way to dispose of a wind turbine once its 20-30 years of service ends. After all, at 30,000 pounds and 300 feet long, they aren’t that easy to recycle and nearly 5,000-8,000 blades are retired each year. Most often, the spinning arms are sentenced to the unfavorable fate of incineration or life in a landfill — until now.
Canvus is out to rewrite the fate of these retired blades, repurposing them into functional pieces of art. In August, the Rocky River company launched a line of 11 models, which consist of benches, tables and planters.
