Clariant: Benefits of deicer recycling, of Octagon acquisition, on show at inter airport 2011

At inter airport Europe, Clariant will show how the carbon footprint of aircraft deicing can be cut dramatically by recycling used fluid. The Munich show also will mark the deicer-maker’s first major public appearance since its Octagon acquisition, which expanded its supply capability in North America.

At the last inter airport Europe, Clariant unveiled its EcoTain recycling system that lessens the environmental impact and the costs of aircraft deicing. At the upcoming inter airport Europe, Clariant will present hard numbers showing how recycling significantly lowers deicing’s carbon footprint.

“We were confident that EcoTain recycling could cut the amount of greenhouse-gases emitted in deicing,” says Martin Westermaier, Research & Development Manager at Clariant. “So to find out for sure, we commissioned an independent, scientific assessment – which we’ll present at the show.”
