On Global Recycling Day, ATR and TARMAC Aerosave announced the strengthening of their partnership to further enhance the dismantling and recycling of end-of-life ATR aircraft. The agreement foresees the continued recycling of used ATRs, with up to 12 aircraft to be recycled in the coming years as part of the partnership.
Three ATR aircraft have been recycled by TARMAC Aerosave in 2023, and 85.5% of parts have been either reused or recycled, from 85% previously. This year, four ATR aircraft will be dismantled by TARMAC Aerosave, and both companies are joining efforts to identify new recycling processes to increase the number of recyclable parts in the future.
All reusable airframe and OEM parts will be inspected, repaired and certified to EASA Form 1 airworthiness standards before entering ATR’s spares warehouses. Unusable parts will be dismantled for the recycling of their raw materials.
