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.
Likewise, utilizing post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials as composite components can significantly reduce the carbon footprint* of those composites.
