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. As materials engineers, it's crucial to consider several factors when adopting more circular composites. Materials engineers play a pivotal role in the quest to make composites more circular and sustainable.
