Growing Preference for Light Weight Material and Innovative Waste Disposal Systems to Gain Importance in the Manufacturing of Aircraft Waste Tanks

Product and material innovations will play a very important role in boosting the adoption of modern aircraft waste tanks.

 With the rapidly increasing popularity of air transport, and the constantly growing size of airline fleets worldwide, the adoption of modern aircraft waste tanks is anticipated to fast growth in the near future. Exponential growth in the transport industry, and growing emphasis on aircraft comfort, safety, hygiene, and environmentally friendly aircraft waste tank systems is of utmost importance.

Technical improvements and new modifications in the aviation industry are arising from the development of new technologies to aid in waste recycling and environment friendly practices for keeping up with hygiene and measures for protection of environment from old aircraft waste disposal processes.

With changes in waste disposal regulations, and rising preference for reduced weight of aircraft, manufacturers have been increasingly shifting their focus to newer aircraft waste tank designs that are made with lightweight materials, and process systems that are increasingly focusing on waste recyclability to increase cost and power efficiency of the aircraft waste disposal systems. 

As waste related legislations are implemented with increasingly stringent measures, airports and airlines around the globe finding it difficult to modernize their old aircraft waste management systems and processes for waste recovery. As a result, the global aviation industry is working on implementing a wide spectrum of measures in a timely manner to minimize the impact on the environment for a better future.

Composite Materials is Anticipated to See Widespread Application in Aircraft Waste Tank Construction  

New changes in aircraft waste disposal regulation have meant that unlike before, aircrafts can only offload their waste products after landing on the ground, not while in flight. Therefore, airline operators must contend with the challenge of increased weight and the resultant reduction in fuel efficiency.

Towards this end, aircraft waste tank system manufacturers are heavily invested in the development of new materials to use as construction materials, which are to be light in weight, without compromising on durability and integrity to prevent wastage, and also to increase the capacity of waste disposal systems.

All major manufacturers of aircraft waste tanks can be observed to have moved towards the use of composite or polymer based materials to fulfil the requirements of aircraft waste tanks that accurately comply with the new rules.

Aircraft Waste Tanks Integrated With Vacuum Systems Will See Higher Rate of Growth

Increased hygiene, light weight construction, relatively lower installation costs, modular components for ease of serviceability, and increase in efficiency of operations through powerful vacuum systems. Over half of all aircraft waste tanks that have been installed worldwide are integrated to vacuum waste disposal systems, especially for long distance flights, that see heavy lavatory usage.

Changes in Waste Disposal Regulations Will Push Demand for Upgrades to Aircraft Waste Tanks

Changes in aircraft waste system regulations, are putting emphasis of recycling blue water within the aircraft flight duration to increase on aircraft efficiency, and reduces the weight of the entire aircraft waste tank system by nearly half. Towards this end, recirculating aircraft waste systems, are also seeing greater use with a wide range of popular short and medium distance aircraft lines such as the range from Airbus and Boeing. With budget airlines such as Lion Air and Jet Asia among others who are expanding their fleets worldwide, the demand for new and retrofitted modern aircraft waste tanks can only see increase in the years to come. 

An ongoing in-depth analysis of the global aircraft waste tanks market provides a comprehensive evaluation of the current as well as future scenario of the aircraft waste tanks market.  The extensive study on the aircraft waste tanks market makes exclusive insights available that are extracted, form the current market developments that are fueling the increased adoption of aircraft waste tanks worldwide.
