To recover the most value out of aerospace metal scraps, it’s important to choose a recycling partner that knows the right approach. Traditionally aerospace material wastes are recycled in a collective manner which results in all metals being processed as lower value metals. Whereas many metals used in aircraft components are sophisticated superalloys. Globe Metal® team possesses in-depth knowledge of metals in the aerospace industry. We handle mixed materials and hazardous materials effectively. Your metals worth money and you are guaranteed to receive fair value for them recycling with Globe Metal®.

Client: A Metal Coatings and Manufacturer in the Aerospace Industry

Approach: After conducting metal testing and analysis of metal powder captured in client’s filters, Globe Metal® arranged to have filters cleaned at $54 per filter. Filters could be cleaned up to 4 times as long as they were not damaged. Client paid for shipping and handling and received credit on the sale of their metal powders.

Results/Benefits: Costs were reduced by 50%, which included cleaning, metal credits, shipping, and having their metal recycled.

Metals are essential, versatile, resilient and have values, especially metals in aeronautical products. Recycling metal wastes is extremely important for the Aerospace industry as it can significantly improve overall sustainability and reduce wasteful loss of valuable materials. All metals can be infinitely recycled without degrading in properties, yet only 30% of metals are being recycled. Contact Globe Metal® to find out about different recycling solutions for all your metal wastes.
