The Spanish company Acciona has developed an innovative way of processing wind turbines by turning them into surfing boards.
This solution is part of global efforts to find sustainable ways of waste disposal that occur in the renewable energy sector. The turbine blades are a serious problem for processing because of their size and composition, but new technology gives them a second life, minimizing their negative impact on the environment.
As part of the Turbine Made initiative, the company has created the world’s first surbourboards from recycled blades. This project started in Australia, where ten prototypes of boards were made on the basis of material obtained from the turbines written off from the Vaubra Wind Park. Professional surfer Josh Kerr, who participated in the development, noted that these boards combine environmental friendliness and high characteristics for skating.
Boards made of processed fiberglass have high durability, lightness and maneuverability. The turbine blades are used not only for the design of the deck, but also for the creation of flippers, which makes them even more resistant to loads. The outer layer of fiberglass, including processed elements, increases durability and reduces the negative impact on nature.
Acciona is already actively working on expanding the use of recycled materials. The company cooperates with El Ganso, creating sneakers with sole soles, and also uses this material in solar trackers at a power plant in Spain. In 2026, Acciona plans to open a plant in Navarre, which will process up to 6,000 tons of blades annually.
The development of such initiatives confirms the importance of the principles of the economy of a closed cycle in the field of pure energy. Acciona demonstrates that even such difficult materials as windmill blades can get new use by promoting stable technologies and reducing the load on the environment.
