A multi-stage process :
- Pollution control/degassing: removal of pollutants (oils, fuels, batteries, etc.).
- Dismantling manual or mechanical dismantling of structural components
- Treatment : shredding or grinding of recyclable materials
- Shipping to approved recycling channels
- Energy recovery: the example of composites
