Scientists have developed a breakthrough method to make non-recyclable flame-retardant composites used in electric vehicles recyclable, addressing a major environmental challenge in the automotive industry. The innovation involves modifying the chemical structure of these materials, which are typically difficult to process due to their flame-resistant properties. By enabling recycling, the approach could reduce waste from EV manufacturing while maintaining safety standards. The findings mark a potential shift in how sustainable materials are integrated into next-generation vehicles.
