A consortium of airlines has come together in Canada to open a glycol recycling facility at YYC Calgary International Airport. During Calgary winters, ice and snow that has accumulated on an aircraft needs to be removed for flight safety. The de-icing fluid used is a mix of glycol and water. The new facility, an integral part of glycol management at YYC, takes the used de-icing fluid that has traditionally been handled as waste and transforms it into a reusable product, providing both environmental and economic benefits.
