MATERIAL CONTEXT
Composites
Consider reinforcement, matrix, manufacture and joining as one system.
Include manufacture and repair
Joining, inspection and repair routes should be specified with the intended loading and environment. A component shape can matter as much as a material label.
Plan the next use
Record how the assembly can be separated or recovered, and whether a real receiving process exists. A theoretical recycling route is not evidence of local collection.
