The Aethos Foundation is dedicated to finding sustainable solutions for the materials left behind when aircraft or their components reach the end of their life. Our mission is to ensure that these materials—many of which currently pose a challenge—are recycled in the most environmentally responsible way possible. We actively support research into innovative recycling methods and promote the development of new technologies to address the complex mix of metals, composites, plastics, and chemicals found in aircraft. In addition, Aethos strengthens the professional network of stakeholders working on these challenges, raising awareness and sharing knowledge so that everyone involved in the aircraft recycling process can contribute to a more sustainable future.
