The world of composites is evolving rapidly, and sustainability is at the forefront of this transformation. Chemical Recycling: Sometimes referred to as advanced or molecular recycling in the plastics world, chemical recycling of composites involves breaking down the composite’s matrix resin into molecular components by pyrolysis or solvolysis, allowing for the recovery of its fiber reinforcement. These include the energy required for recycling, environmental impacts, carbon emissions, the value of the next life of the material, its longevity, and the economics of the entire process.
