5,000-8,000 wind turbine blades are retired each year. The wind industry has struggled with recycling them due to their massive size, durability, and fiberglass material.
Canvus created a solution for these blades by upcycling them at scale into furniture designed for communities, parks, and schools.
Our Products
We developed a series of products that not only serve essential function needed in our public spaces, but are thought-provoking and bring a sense of excitement to communities.
Our upcycled benches, planters, and picnic sets are fully assembled, maintenance-free, and built to last 25+ years.
In solving a problem, we created a new opportunity for the renewable industry to give back Canvus Products to their communities.
Our Request Program allows companies with a commitment to renewable energy to make a positive impact in public spaces by donating sustainable furniture to communities across the U.S.
Communities across the country reach out to Canvus daily to request our products to amplify their public spaces. Some underserved communities do not have the financial resources or budget to purchase products directly. Canvus counts on our Corporate Partners to fulfill these requests and support the communities that support the renewable industry.
Canvus is not only a furniture manufacturer, but we also offer the best solution for wind farm repowering and decommissioning projects. We are able to handle the entire project, which includes material handling and logistics services, and the disposition of the metal, fluid, and fiberglass byproduct.
We are a solution for every blade coming out of service and can process 100% of the blade by upcycling into furniture, aggregate for concrete products and building materials, then shredding the remaining material into fuel source for the cement-making process – making us the perfect partner for all projects throughout the United States.
Canvus is the lowest cost qualified supplier when it comes to handling your blades.

Our downtown has its own vibe. It's new and we want to make it a destination. Other cities don't have what we have and we want to keep them coming back.
