Why we need to act
In the coming years, thousands of wind turbines will reach the end of their lifespan. The rotor blades pose a massive disposal challenge.
Disposal Problem
Thousands of tons of decommissioned rotor blades accumulate annually – valuable material ends up in landfills.
Short-lived Infrastructure
Conventional bus shelters show signs of wear after just a few years and need to be replaced.
Invisible Energy Transition
The transformation to renewable energy often remains abstract and intangible for citizens.
Wind energy in Switzerland
Facts showing that wind power has enormous potential in Switzerland – and every turbine eventually becomes material for the circular economy.
Strong in winter
Wind power delivers around two-thirds of its electricity in the winter half-year – exactly when Switzerland has to import power.

Bottom of the class in Europe
Share of wind energy in electricity consumption – Switzerland lags far behind the rest of Europe.
Source: Suisse Eole
Municipalities say yes
Since 2012, 35 municipalities have voted on 27 concrete wind projects.

15× more in planning
Around 15 times more wind power capacity is in the pipeline in Switzerland than currently in operation.

Circular Economy
on site
We transform the disposal problem into an opportunity for sustainable municipal infrastructure.
CircularBlades instead of Recycling
We use decommissioned rotor blades directly as construction elements – without energy-intensive recycling, maximum resource protection.
Robust Infrastructure
Bus shelters and bike shelters made from high-strength composite material – built for decades, not just years.
Visible Sustainability
Circular economy becomes tangible in everyday life – a daily reminder of the local energy transition.
Our goal: on-site processing
We are developing a process for on-site processing: from BladeMatch and cutting to plan through to manufacturing with a production partner. Mobile condition assessment is being developed with ZHAW; the sequence shown is our vision, not technology already in operation.
On-site condition assessment (BladeMatch)
Mobile, non-destructive testing of every blade zone produces a suitability map and a cutting plan for the target product. In development with ZHAW.
Cutting to plan
Precise segmentation of suitable blade zones according to the cutting plan.
Transport & manufacturing
Segments are transported in containers for manufacturing with the production partner.
Zero Waste
Residual material is recycled into GRP granulate.

Wind Power Infopark
Create an experience destination around your wind turbine – with sustainable infrastructure made from repurposed rotor blades.
1 / 5
The Wind Power Infopark combines information steles, benches, info boards, and interactive elements – all made from decommissioned rotor blades. A unique meeting point that builds acceptance and makes the energy transition tangible.
Build Acceptance
Create understanding and enthusiasm for wind energy among the local population.
Visitor Experience
An attractive destination for schools, tourists, and interested citizens.
Education & Knowledge
Interactive info boards convey knowledge about renewable energy and circular economy.
Show Sustainability
Demonstrate your commitment to sustainability with visible circular economy.
Economic efficiency over lifecycle (20 years)
The higher initial investment pays for itself after just 10-12 years through saved maintenance and replacement costs.
An investment that
pays off
