The aerospace industry creates a wide range of waste streams that need to be managed frequently and efficiently.

This waste includes materials with potential for reuse, such as plastic and metal, as well as hazardous waste that needs special treatment during disposal. Not sure what waste management services you need? After a waste audit, we can deliver a new waste management plan tailored to your business needs.

Key waste streams in the aerospace sector

  • Hazardous waste
  • Scrap metal
  • Material waste (plastic, glass)
  • General Waste
  • GRP/Composites
  • Confidential shredding (e.g., Design plans)
  • Waste electronics (WEEE)

Aerospace engineering uses a variety of materials for production. Large amounts of metal and plastic are used in the manufacturing of planes. Meanwhile, businesses may create chemical waste from the use of fuels and paints. By collection day, you will need disposal for a wide range of waste streams, from electronic components to paper waste.
