The Runway Safe greenEMAS, Engineered Material Arresting System, is a sustainably designed passive safety system that de-accelerates an aircraft, bringing it to a safe stop in case of an overrun. The main arresting component of the greenEMAS is foam glass, which is made from 100% recycled glass. It is a superior safety solution sustainable over a long period of time.
The greenEMAS bed is assembled onsite using local workforce and materials, except for the foam glass that has to be shipped to the location. It has been installed at many airports all over the world with the purpose of saving human lives, assets and infrastructure, in case of an overrun.
