Are the remaining aircraft materials being perfectly recycled
after all reusable parts have been removed from a disposed aircraft?

NO!

We can do this better, and research is needed!

Help and support Aethos

The Aethos Foundation stands for sustainable solutions for aircraft materials that are left when an aircraft or part thereof is disposed of. Aethos contributes to new solutions by supporting research into recycling so that aircraft materials will be reused in the most sustainable way. We also support the professional network that is currently tackling these challenges so that every stakeholder in the recycling process can be aware of these possibilities.
