The Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association (AFRA) is delighted to announce that Evergreen Trade Inc. is the latest company to receive its prestigious Best Management Practice (BMP) audited accreditation for its aircraft disassembly and parts and materials recycling operations.
Evergreen Trade Inc. is one of the leading aircraft disassembly companies in the US, having purchased, sold and dismantled more that 1600 aircraft, in its 47 year history.
Mike Hines, Executive President of Evergreen Trade Inc., says his company actively sought AFRA accreditation, ‘because it informs others in the aviation industry that we stand for integrity, environmental responsibility, and all the Best Management Practices’ incorporated within the accreditation process and promoted by AFRA’.
Evergreen Trade Inc. expects that the additional layer of expertise AFRA accreditation brings will be a valuable asset in its business promotion. Hines notes: ‘As environmental consciousness continues to rise throughout the aviation aftermarket sector, environmental stewardship is increasingly becoming a valuable consideration in contract negotiations. The AFRA accreditation process assures us that we are on track to meeting these requirements’.
AFRA Executive Director and General Manager, Chateauroux Air Centre, Martin Fraissignes is happy that such a major and distinguished aircraft disassembly company such Evergreen Trade Inc. recognizes both the environmental and commercial value of engaging in the AFRA accreditation process. ‘This latest accreditation offers further proof that AFRA is recognised as the leading global industry association dedicated to pursuing and promoting environmental best practice, regulatory excellence and sustainable developments in aircraft disassembly.’ |
