Our Impact
72994
We enabled 72,994 components to be reused in the flying fleet in 2024, promoting aviation’s circular economy.
REUSE
2000
More than 2000 tonnes of material was repurposed or recycled in 2024. Supporting our aim of achieving 0% waste to landfill.
REPURPOSE & RECYCLE
17%
The average number of parts removed per aircraft went up by 17% in 2024 compared to 2023.
REUSE
ecube sets industry baseline for recycling of EOL aircraft.
ecube, a Unical Group company, has set a baseline repeatable process for recycling end-of-life aircraft. The aircraft disassembly specialists and its partners were able to reuse, repurpose and recycle 83% of a British Airways Airbus A320 through a repeatable and industrialised process.
Our role in aviation's circular economy
Ethos:
- Every part back in service, is one less needed for manufacture
