Aviation’s Carbon Neutral Race
The aviation industry has committed to an ambitious but necessary goal: net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. This pledge, led by IATA and ICAO, aligns the sector with the Paris Agreement’s climate objectives.
Reaching it will require unprecedented collaboration—between airlines, airports, manufacturers, and suppliers. Sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), electric and hydrogen innovation, and operational efficiency are crucial pieces of the puzzle, but so are the infrastructure decisions made on the ground.
- The aviation industry has pledged to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, led by IATA and ICAO.
- Most attention has been on sustainable aviation fuels and new propulsion, but these alone won’t deliver the target.
- Airports are expected to decarbonize every aspect of operations—from terminals to construction materials to ground infrastructure.
- As a result, suppliers and lifecycle impacts are under closer scrutiny than ever before.
A-SAFE delivers impact protection that combines world-class safety with measurable sustainability benefits: lower embodied carbon, less waste, and reduced emissions.
Where A-SAFE Leads
A-SAFE invented the world’s first polymer safety barrier and has led the market ever since. We pioneer solutions that combine unmatched safety performance with measurable sustainability gains.
Traditional steel barriers are heavy, energy-intensive, and environmentally costly. In contrast, A-SAFE’s advanced polymer technology is purpose-built for both safety and sustainability:
Lower Embodied Carbon
Requires less energy to manufacture, and lighter weight means reduced transportation emissions
No Toxic Coatings
Unlike steel, A-SAFE barriers need no painting, blasting, or VOC-based touch-ups
Reusable & Recyclable
Designed for circularity—our barriers can often be reused or recycled at end-of-life
Longer Lifespan, Less Waste
Polymer barriers flex, absorb impacts, and return to shape—eliminating waste from frequent steel replacements
Built for airports
Resistant to corrosion, jet blast, de-icing chemicals, and outdoor weathering

A-SAFE barriers keep Airports worldwide running smoothly and sustainably:
Protected infrastructure means fewer repairs and less waste. That keeps operations running smoothly while avoiding the carbon cost of constant replacements.
Baggage carousels and critical infrastructure stay operational, minimizing disruptions and reducing the indirect emissions caused by delays and extra handling.
Prevent damage, injury, and costly claims — while extending asset lifespan and reducing the environmental impact of scrapping and rebuilding.
A-SAFE proven protection
For over 40 years, A-SAFE has been trusted by leading airports around the world to reduce risks, save costs, and ensure safety compliance. Our advanced safety barriers are designed to protect critical infrastructure and prevent collisions in high traffic areas by minimising operations while meeting the highest safety standards.
