The Process for Advanced Management of End of-Life-Aircraft (PAMELA) Project is an enterprise set up by Airbus in Southern France with the aim of recycling aircraft parts.
The project's ultimate goal is protecting the environment. Instead of letting old passenger aircraft deteriorate in airport perimeters or in "boneyards", aircraft will be decommissioned and recycled.
Airbus estimates that more than 4,000 aircraft will finish active service between 2004 and 2023, a rate of over 200 aircraft per year, and that between 85% and 95% of their components can easily be recycled, reused, or otherwise recovered.[1]
