Goodrich was selected for the award based on its carbon recycling program. As a manufacturer of carbon disk aircraft brakes, Goodrich receives worn disks from airlines worldwide for possible refurbishment and reuse. Some disks do not meet the strict criteria for refurbishment. Rather than scrapping the disks, Goodrich worked with Evraz/Rocky Mountain Steel Mill in Pueblo to devise a method to allow disks to be used as a carbon raw material source in steel production. Furthermore, the team found a way to recycle the disks without any additional treatment, avoiding any associated environmental consequences. Over the last 12 months, more than 208 tons of post-consumer carbon disks from Goodrich were recycled for use in the manufacture of steel products.
Brian Brandewie, president, Goodrich Aircraft Wheels and Brakes, said, "Our team in Pueblo is demonstrating its commitment to continuous improvement and environmental stewardship. Keeping these used carbon disks out of landfills is the right thing to do for our community, and we will continue to seek innovative ways to use technology to reduce our environmental impact."
The ELP is a statewide environmental recognition and reward program administered by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's Sustainability Program. The ELP offers benefits and incentives to members that voluntarily go beyond compliance with state and federal regulations and are committed to continual environmental improvement. The Goodrich team achieved Gold Leader status in the ELP in 2008. Approximately 30 companies are designated as Gold Leaders; these peer companies compete for, and select, the 24 Karat Gold Leader winner each year.
