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. Mechanical Recycling: In contrast to chemical recycling, mechanical recycling does not affect the chemistry or composition of the composite being recycled. Recycling Materials into New Composites: Repurposing manufacturing waste to create new composites prevents it from going into landfills.

They also act as semi-conductors in cables and protect electronics from interference. For most applications, this is not a problem; but this dust can destroy electronic circuits, making nonsloughing fillers preferable for electronics production and packaging. Glass beads are sometimes produced from recycled glass using a chemical process that creates precise spheres, which can be dispersed evenly and packed closely to allow high filler loading.
