composites recycling

Composites recycling involves breaking down durable materials made from combining different substances, like reinforced plastics or fiberglass, to recover valuable components. These materials are used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and construction for their strength and lightweight properties. Recycling methods include mechanical grinding, where composites are shredded into smaller pieces, and chemical processes that separate the materials at a molecular level. The recovered materials can then be repurposed into new products, reducing waste and environmental impact. Effective recycling of composites helps conserve resources, lowers emissions, and supports sustainable manufacturing practices.
