Poland Life beyond the wind

Dozens of deck chairs, benches and swings made out of wind turbine blades have been placed in the green and recreational areas around Panattoni’s centres, including those in Kraków, Kalisz, Wrocław, Wałbrzych, Małe Żerniki, Pruszków and Nadarzyn. This results from partnering with Anmet, which for the last 20 years has specialised in recycling waste and since 2015 has been recycling wind turbine blades.

Responsible management after usage will be one of the greatest challenges in the coming decades. Panattoni is demonstrating that the industrial real estate sector can also play a role in this positive trend.

The wind turbine blades that Anmet turns into outdoor furniture can be used for 25 years. A single wind turbine, over its lifetime, will save 36,500 tons of CO2 emissions that otherwise would have been produced by a coal-fired power station.
