No matter whether it be old paint, kerosene, gas cylinders or customs waste: We accept all types of waste produced by the aviation industry. Get in touch with us
Reliably managing hazardous waste for the aviation industry and aircraft manufacturers
The production and maintenance facilities operated by aircraft manufacturers, airlines and airports are as complex as those run by industry. Besides generating “conventional” hazardous waste, these businesses also produce aircraft-specific waste that requires specialist recycling and disposal know-how, experience and capabilities. REMONDIS Industrie Service can guarantee that it is not only able to safely process all types and all volumes of dangerous substances produced by this sector but also any equipment and devices containing such materials. Having worked with global airlines for many years, we have in-depth knowledge of all relevant statutory regulations – including how to manage materials confiscated during customs checks. We provide suitable storage bins, train staff about waste-related issues, manage the logistics, implement digital systems and and ensure the proper treatment, recycling, or disposal of even specialized types of waste.

Airport fuel/oil separators: giants promoting environmental protection
Able to hold up to 10,000 litres, the oil and light liquid separators at airports are around four times larger than those found at garages or petrol stations. What’s more, airports normally have several separators – installed close to the runways several metres below the ground. These need to be maintained and inspected as well as emptied and cleaned on a regular basis. By the way, the same is true for their grease traps.
Providing oil and fuel separator services is one of REMONDIS Industrie Service’s core areas of expertise and includes handling the recycling/disposal of the sludge and contaminated wastewater. Making the most of our specialist know-how, we ensure separators at many companies across Germany run smoothly.
“From disposing of dangerous substances, to recycling reusable materials, through to handling items confiscated by customs – we provide comprehensive solutions for our customers operating in the aviation sector.”

A clean affair: managing hazardous waste sustainably for the aviation industry
Our business locations, where the waste we accept is processed, hold the necessary certifications and are regularly inspected by regulatory authorities. We ensure that hazardous materials and special waste are properly recycled. Here’s an example of how we recover recyclable materials from hazardous waste. Paint sludge contains a significant amount of solvents, which we are able to separate and process for reuse. The remaining sludge is also sent on for further processing. Another example is our aerosol can recycling operations, which enable us to recover almost 100% of the materials so they can be reused. Whenever we receive obsolete plane parts, we first remove any hazardous substances so that the other recyclable materials can be sent on for recycling. We use kerosene collected as a result of misfuelling as RDF (refuse-derived fuel).
If requested, we can set up a recycling centre on your premises so that your recyclable materials can be efficiently recovered on site at your business. What’s more, we can also provide the specialist staff needed to run the centre. Send us an enquiry
Specialist bins and digital tools: smart waste storage logistics
Businesses that manufacture planes, service aircraft and operate airports generate large volumes of waste every single day. We help you to decide which and how many specialist bins and containers and packaging you need and make sure that our intermediate storage facilities and processing plants always have the capacity to handle your materials. If requested, we can develop a colour-coded scheme for your bins and teach your staff how to handle dangerous substances and hazardous waste safely.
Effective recycling systems – comprehensive solutions for the aviation industry
It makes no difference which or what volumes of materials you need to dispose of: As part of the REMONDIS Group, we have many specialized companies and can therefore offer efficient and legally compliant collection and disposal for nearly every type of waste. This begins with safety checks regarding the waste declaration and extends all the way to material recycling or safe disposal at our plants and facilities. We also handle food waste and its conversion into biogas or organic fertilizer.
Lithium-ion battery storage solutions
We provide safe and secure boxes for storing and transporting damaged or unwanted lithium batteries and ensure they are sent on for recycling or disposal.
