In solvolysis, the chain length of matrix polymers is reduced toward monomers while removing the matrix from the fibers so that both the fibers and matrix chemical products can be recovered. Pyrolysis is more likely to damage the recovered fibers and reduce their properties in subsequent cleaning steps to remove the pyrolysis char, but some composites or mixed material applications require this route.  Recycling Materials into New Composites: Repurposing manufacturing waste to create new composites prevents it from going into landfills.
