With over 20 years in the industry, we understand the unique compliance challenges faced by aerospace businesses and provide straightforward, reliable waste management that keeps your operations running smoothly.
Aerospace Waste Streams We Handle
Aviation and aerospace facilities produce some of the most technically demanding waste streams in UK industry. Our service covers the full range of hazardous materials generated during manufacturing, maintenance, and repair operations:
Solvents (MEK, IPA, acetone)
Paint systems, strippers, and thinners
Sealants and bonding agents
Composite resins and fibres
Hydraulic fluids and lubricants
De-icing fluids and glycols
Surface treatment chemicals
Aerospace waste classification demands precision. Getting EWC codes or hazard properties wrong can delay collections, breach permits, and attract regulatory attention. Our experienced team list and classify each waste stream accurately, maintaining compliance throughout.
We handle all regulatory requirements including:
Hazardous Waste Consignment Notes
EWC and HP code assignment
UN packaging and labelling
Environment Agency, SEPA, and NRW notifications
Duty of Care documentation
Collection and Transport
We arrange nationwide hazardous waste collection across England, Scotland, and Wales through our network of licensed, ADR-compliant hauliers. Whether you need ad-hoc collections during maintenance shutdowns or regular scheduled uplifts, we coordinate reliable service tailored to aerospace production schedules.
Our collection capability ranges from single drum uplifts to full articulated loads. We handle small-scale collections of individual 205-litre drums, intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), and palletised waste. For larger volumes, we arrange multi-pallet collections up to 24 pallets per load, plus bulk tanker services for liquid waste streams including cutting fluids, solvents, and process chemicals. Emergency response collections are available when operational requirements demand rapid waste removal.
