Recycling & Circular Economy

Compared to five years ago, composites recycling technologies have come a long way – but also have a long way to go to achieve full commercial success. At the same time, there is increasing effort to define and achieve a “circular economy,” focusing on composites incorporating recycled streams and designed to be recycled. How can we increase confidence in using recycled composites in new components? What testing or standards need to be completed, and how do we measure circularity?
