Accelerating Supply Chain Decarbonisation – Introducing the Aviation Circularity Consortium

Karina Cady, CEO of Nandina REM, commented on this new milestone, “The interest in circular aviation materials garnered during the Singapore Airshow demonstrates a huge opportunity to raise circularity as one of the key strategies to accelerate decarbonisation in the global supply chain. Achieving this requires collaborative effort across industry stakeholders from all fronts – manufacturers, airlines, and regulators – to bring their unique expertise and resources to the table. Today’s launch is crucial in building such a collaborative industry ecosystem working towards enabling high-value circularity in the global supply chain.”

Andrew Parker, Chief Sustainability Officer of Qantas also mentioned, “Decarbonising aviation and reducing the industry’s environmental footprint is a challenge that requires innovative solutions. As well as the significant commitments and investment towards reducing our emissions, we’re committed to sustainability across our entire operations and supply chain. There’s a lot of untapped potential in the high value materials from retired aircraft that could be recycled and used to create parts in future Qantas aircraft cabins. We’re pleased to be part of this industry collaboration which is an important step towards a more resilient and sustainable future for aviation.”
