Who would have thought there was an Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association? Good thing because sitting in the deserts of California and Arizona are hundreds of mothballed planes with tons of recyclable materials. Many planes are recycled for aluminum, transmissions, lawnmower engines, others are resold and others are just waiting for the airline industry to pick up again.
I just Gotta Tell Ya
- 80% of an airplane is reusable- recyclable
- About 450 Large Airplanes are scrapped every year with about 5900 passenger jets to be recycled by 2028
- The average life span of an airplane is 25-30 years
