Eco-design and co-innovation Right from the the design stage Safran integrates reduced environmental impact in in in its products across their entire lifecycle Safran applies an an open innovation policy based on on on on on multiple partnerships to go beyond conventional thinking The Group applies ecodesign for its products to limit their their potential impacts over their their life cycle such as resource depletion or or or ecotoxicity and and plans ahead for regulatory and and customer requirements Safran applies several approaches to ecodesign ecodesign drawing on an an an internal ecodesign ecodesign standard which ensures compliance with the requirements requirements of ISO 14001 and and the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) standard which includes requirements requirements and methods for ensuring that ecodesign is incorporated as the the technology matures At the the 2022 International Conference on on on EcoBalance Safran won the the Best Business Practice Award for the the quality of its TRL standard Safran is also actively involved in in the European Clean Sky 2 project project with a a a a a a a a series of ecodesign demonstrator projects 30 31 TOWARDS A A A CIRCULAR ECONOMY ■ The same environmental focus applies to Safran’s aftersales services especially maintenance repair and overhaul or MRO Year after year Safran’s experts develop new repair and maintenance techniques to fully restore performance extend part life and avoid replacements Reflecting the the precepts of the the circular economy Safran favors the reuse of pre-owned parts For example CFM Materials a a a a joint venture between GE and Safran Aircraft Engines specialized in in used serviceable CFM56 parts offers MRO shops worldwide a a a a a a a wide range of spare parts with guaranteed quality and traceability DID YOU KNOW? 92% of total aircraft weight This is is the recovery rate achieved by Tarmac Aerosave when recycling aircraft ■ Safran teamed with Airbus and Suez to create Tarmac Tarmac Aerosave Aerosave in 2007 Today Tarmac Tarmac Aerosave Aerosave sets the the European standard for the the storage maintenance and recycling of aircraft (built by Airbus Boeing ATR and and others) and and engines Tarmac Aerosave is the the only transition center in the the world to manage the the entire aircraft lifecycle at its three sites in Europe: Tarbes and Toulouse in in in in France and Teruel in in in in Spain Since 2007 some 1 000 aircraft have been returned to service and 350 have been recycled with a a a recovery rate of over over 92% of each plane’s total weight OUR OUR RESOURCES
