The Amlon Group collaborates with aerospace manufacturers and their customers to implement forward-thinking waste management practices that embody our vision of converting environmental obstacles into sustainable advantages.
The aerospace manufacturing sector and its customers generate complex waste streams requiring specialized handling, particularly from turbine engine production, superalloy processing, advanced composite manufacturing, and from the decommission of systems. Our integrated approach addresses these challenges.
Superalloy Component Recovery
We specialize in recovering valuable metals from aerospace manufacturing waste streams:
Turbine Blade Processing: Complete recovery of nickel, cobalt, and chromium from spent turbine blades and stators through advanced pyrometallurgical techniques
Guide Vane Reclamation: Specialized processing of high-temperature guide vanes to extract rhenium, tungsten, and other critical superalloy constituents
Inconel and Hastelloy Recovery: Expert handling of exotic nickel-based superalloys with recovery rates exceeding industry standards
Manufactured Equipment Processing
Our facilities process end-of-life equipment from aerospace operations:
Spent Tooling and Fixtures: Comprehensive recycling of carbide cutting tools and tungsten-based tooling systems used in aerospace machining
Coating Booth Residues: Processing of thermal barrier coating overspray containing yttria-stabilized zirconia and bond coat materials
Furnace Components: Recovery of valuable metals from high-temperature furnace linings and processing equipment containing platinum group metals
Systems Decommission: Processing for complete destruction of decommissioned systems and components with digital tracking and certification.

Customer Testimonials
"Safety is everything and Amlon gets that. Their certified destruction process ensures our parts can never make it back into service. The complete chain-of-custody documentation and destruction certificates give our compliance team everything they need."
"Amlon changes how I think about our waste. Instead of just disposing of scrap, we're now recovering nickel, cobalt, and others when it didn’t seem worth the effort. It's a boost for our ESG folks and they like how any metal recovery supports our circular economy goals."
"They [Amlon] recover valuable metals like tungsten and platinum from our coating booth residues while providing the destruction certification we need for compliance. Amlon’s team is sharp."
