๐โจ Our last pre-Christmas gift from BLADES2BUILD โจ๐
Sustainability and circularity take centre stage in Brussels!
๐ On 9 December 2025, the EUPAVE, the European Concrete Paving Association, presented its first Outstanding Projects and Innovations Awards in Brussels โ and we are proud to share that BLADES2BUILD has received the Outstanding Innovation Award (OIA)๐
๐ The award was received on behalf of BLADES2BUILD by Amaia Gรณmez San Martรญn (ACCIONA), Quentin Favre-Victoire (Holcim), and Tao Liu (DTU – Technical University of Denmark) for the innovation:
โTurning End of Life Wind Turbine Blades into Concrete Roads and Structures: A First European Experimentation.โ
๐ง Validated in our real-world demonstrators
โข Endesa โ Circular Repowering Platform (Aldeavieja, Spain): recycled blade fibres and aggregates used in concrete with high mechanical performance and a significantly lower carbon footprint, supported by electric mixer trucks.
โข ACCIONA โ Circular Slab Prototype (Madrid, Spain): a 120 mยฒ industrial slab built with ECOCycleยฎ concrete (Holcim), low-emission cement, and recycled aggregates, including end-of-life wind blade materials.
๐ Congratulations to EUPAVE, the European Concrete Paving Association and all award recipients, and thank you to our team for contributing to a more sustainable built environment.
๐ก This award confirms that sustainability & circularity are no longer a conceptโitโs being built into our infrastructure. ๐
โ What a wonderful way to close the year, and a strong motivation heading into 2026 ๐ ๐
