  • It has approximately 3 million parts,

  • and before it ever takes off,

  • Boeing engineers already know how

  • those parts will effect its flight along with its environment.

  • From raw materials and production methods

  • to fuel efficiency and aircraft retirement,

  • Boeing is designing jetliners to improve

  • every aspect of their use and environmental performance.

  • Airplanes have very long inservice life spans.

  • [Jeanne Yu, director of Environmental Performance] My job is to look for ways to continue

  • improving environmental performance of those products

  • over their entire life cycle.

  • When jetliners were first built,

  • there wasn't much thought given to materials,

  • components, or even whole aircraft

  • once their service lives were over,

  • often 30 or more years after they were originally manufactured.

  • But that's all changed.

  • Boeing is now building entire airplanes with recycling in mind.

  • Take composite wing and fuselage structures, for example.

  • The 787 is made of composite structure,

  • which is what makes it lighter weight

  • and makes it significantly more fuel efficient

  • than the airplanes they replace.

  • With composites, we've been working very

  • hard with the industry to understand how to preserve carbon fiber,

  • because once you can recycle the carbon fiber,

  • you can put it into many other applications

  • at much lighter cost and much less energy

  • than it would take for raw material use.

  • However, designing for the environment goes well beyond

  • high-tech materials such as carbon fiber.

  • It includes better recycling approaches for the most ordinary materials,

  • like aircraft carpeting.

  • We were surprised to find out how often

  • carpet is turned over in an aircraft.

  • So over the 20 to 30 year lifespan on one single aircraft,

  • tons of carpet can go to landfills.

  • That's why Boeing is helping airlines replace small sections of worn carpets

  • with recyclable carpet squares.

  • If there's a stain or a spill,

  • you can remove 1 carpet tile and replace it with a fresh tile,

  • and it fits right in, and its seamless.

  • We love it.

  • Our customer loves it,

  • and it's better for the environment,

  • so that's a win-win-win for all.

  • What really makes designing for the environment important

  • is the scale it represents.

  • Boeing produces more than 48 large commercial jetliners a month,

  • so an improvement in an airplane's design

  • can be reflected in 1000's of planes

  • in just a few years.

  • There's nothing simple about aircraft.

  • The real challenge is that

  • to make an airplane more recyclable or more sustainable,

  • we need everyone who has anything to do with the airplane

  • to begin to think in a more sustainable way.
