This makes recycling difficult and increases the cost of manufacturing and maintaining the seats. Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology has consequently developed an aircraft seat that not only meets requirements for space- and weight-savings and fire resistance, but is also easy to recycle. The seat consists of only five components and is suitable for large-scale production.enjournal article
