The dark side of wind energy isn’t the windmills—it’s the thousands of decommissioned blades no one knows what to do with. When the turbines stop spinning, the blades become a massive problem.
Made from hard-to-dispose composite materials, wind turbine blades don’t biodegrade. They’re too large for standard transport, too tough for conventional equipment, and too often end up in landfills or abandoned in fields. Critics point to this as proof that wind energy is just another source of industrial waste.
At Best Blade Recycling, we’re changing that story.
A better end-of-life solution for turbine blades
BBR was founded to solve one of wind energy’s biggest and most overlooked challenges: how to responsibly, affordably, and efficiently deal with turbine blades at the end of their life.
We spent years in R&D developing patented processes and proprietary methods that reduce even the largest blades into manageable sections — on-site and in hours, not days. This reduction dramatically lowers transportation costs and landfill volume. But we didn’t stop there.
Our team has also developed multiple ways to repurpose the fiberglass and carbon-fiber blade material, transforming it into durable, industrial-grade products.
Who we are and where we work
BBR is the only fully mobile turbine blade reduction contractor in the U.S. We’ve worked from coast to coast—as well as in Canada and Puerto Rico—servicing blades from all major OEMs, including GE, Siemens Gamesa, Vestas, and Suzlon.
We’re often called in to finish jobs others have abandoned—whether due to safety issues, failed equipment, or underestimating the scope. Municipalities and developers trust us to clean up those messes, meet tight deadlines, and document the full end-of-
life process.
Built for safety. Committed to sustainability.
Our operators are OSHA 30-certified, and every job begins with a site-specific safety plan. We use wet suppression systems and conduct third-party air quality testing when needed to ensure environmental compliance. Our logistics team handles everything from loading and hauling to verified disposal and reuse tracking.
This is what wind energy should look like
Our mission is simple: Make wind energy as clean at the end as it is at the start. And do it with scalable, cost-effective, field-tested solutions that the industry can actually use.
