Circular industrial technology value chains in aeronautics

End-of-life aircraft: an industrial challenge

Rising air traffic, fleet renewal and environmental constraints are increasing the challenges linked to end-of-life aircraft. Every year, hundreds of aircraft are withdrawn from service, while sustainable alternatives to aircraft graveyards remain limited. This session explores how circular industrial technology value chains can address this challenge.
 

For whom?

This event is aimed at:

• Aerospace industry stakeholders
• Industrial companies active in the circular economy
• Actors involved in dismantling, recycling or material recovery
• Decision-makers responsible for innovation or sustainability
   

Key takeaways

During this session, you will:

• Understand the industrial and environmental challenges of end-of-life aircraft
• Discover the PLANUM project and its methodology
• Identify constraints linked to products designed 10 to 20 years ago
• Explore the circular recovery potential of metals and composites
   

Programme

The session will cover:

• The context and challenges of end-of-life aircraft
• The creation of a circular industrial value chain through the PLANUM project
• Key assumptions, questions and technical constraints
• A focus on two material streams: metals and composites
