Options to re-purpose old wind turbine blades are currently pretty limited. But in 2021, a small pilot pedestrian bridge made from decommissioned wind turbine blades was installed in Cork, Ireland.

Twelve Bottles of Bordeaux were aged in space for 438 days and 19 hours on the International Space Station. The experiment was to see how microgravity or weightlessness effects wine as it ages before returning to earth on SpaceX Dragon, The red wine was seen to be further evolved by 2-3 years that came back from space compared to the ones that stayed on earth for 438 days and 19 hours. According to Christie's the price for such a bottle will sell on earth for about $1million.
