This Case Study demonstrates the economic and environmental benefits of a systematic approach to the management of swarf and metalworking fluids at a precision engineering company. Martin Baker Aircraft Company Ltd is a leading manufacturer of aircraft ejection and safety seats for military and commercial applications. Improved swarf management and centralised recycling of metalworking fluids has allowed the company to increase the value of its swarf and reduce its operating costs. Benefits include cost savings of £58 000/year, an estimated 60 tonnes/year increase in the amount of metal recovered and reduced operator exposure to metalworking fluids.
