Similar looking composite materials can have radically different recycling chemistries. The secret is in the thermoset matrix, where various chemical bonds have to be addressed in a different way. This chemistry is crucial to selecting a solvolysis pathway that will be able to regenerate useful fibres and resin derived products for reuse.

Wonder what can be done with composite products like a wind turbine blade or to the hull of an old boat, or a scraped car bonnet when it wears out? In most cases, the straightforward answer is they are either buried in the landfills or burned. This article will explore the research Centria is conducting in the quest of better answers for recycling epoxy-based glass fiber composites.

RECIRCULATE, a second life for the electric vehicle batteries

The rapid growth in battery demand raises questions about sustainability and the limited amount of rare materials. While recycling the batteries to raw materials enables the preservation of rare raw materials, recycling consumes time and energy, reducing the value of recycled batteries. Repurposing and reusing for second-life applications is resource-wise compared to recycling.
