Constellium and TARMAC Aerosave partner to advance towards full aluminium circularity in Commercial Aviation
19 Juni 2023 - 10:00AM
Constellium SE (NYSE: CSTM) and TARMAC Aerosave will explore
the development of technologies and processes to recover aluminium
from end-of-life aircraft, and reutilize it within the aerospace
value chain, while maintaining material properties and performance.
The footprint of aluminium compares very
favorably with competing materials used in aircraft production, and
recycled aluminium adds to this advantage. Recycled aluminium uses
just 5% of the energy required for primary metal production, which
results in 95% fewer CO2 emissions for the aluminium produced for
commercial aircraft.
The project will benefit from TARMAC Aerosave’s
expertise in end-of-life aircraft dismantling and valorization and
Constellium’s know-how in metallurgy, aluminium recycling and alloy
design. The goal of this project is to demonstrate that aluminium
can reach full circularity in complex aerospace applications.
“Dismantling of the aircraft, and re-use of
components and materials are already part of our core business”,
said Sebastien Medan, Facility and EHS Director
for TARMAC Aerosave. “This collaboration with Constellium
encourages us to explore the valorization of the end-of-life
airframes even further, and to expand our contribution towards the
ambitious decarbonation targets set by the commercial aviation
sector.”
“Recycling is at the core of Constellium’s
strategy,” commented Ingrid Joerg, President of Constellium’s
Aerospace & Transportation business unit. “Returning aluminium
from end-of-life metallic aircraft structures back into our process
is critical to achieving full circularity for commercial aviation.
Aircraft recycling currently faces many technical challenges, but
every effort to decarbonize the aerospace industry is necessary. As
a technology and market leader in aluminium solutions, Constellium
is committed to play its part.”

Teruel (Spain) and Toulouse-Francazal (France) in 2017, TARMAC
Aerosave provides the largest aircraft and engine storage capacity
in Europe, supported by maintenance, transition and recycling
expertise. The three sites can accommodate over 280
aircraft, while the maintenance activity covers the main commercial
platforms (Airbus, Boeing, ATR). A dedicated engine workshop also
handles the storage, transition, dismantling and repairs of CFM56
and LEAP engines. Using an environmentally-friendly approach,
TARMAC Aerosave continues to develop advanced dismantling and
recycling techniques that are recognised by ISO 14001
certification. It has a recovery rate of over 90%. TARMAC Aerosave
also has ISO 9001, EN 9110 and EN 9120 certifications and is an
EASA/FAA Part 145 and EASA Part 147 approved organisation.
Benefiting from a solid shareholder structure (Airbus, Safran
Aircraft Engines, Suez), to date, TARMAC Aerosave has
accommodated over 1,470 aircraft, has redelivered 1000, and has
dismantled 360 aircraft and 190 engines.
