Carbon fiber reinforced material that is as strong and light as traditionally used ones but can be repeatedly healed with heat and is recyclable

"materials typically used today, whether in sporting goods or aerospace, are carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP)... Once damaged or compromised... are nearly impossible to repair or recycle... The [new] material is part of a recently developed group known as carbon fiber reinforced vitrimers (vCFRP)... a major shift toward a dynamic material with a different set of considerations in terms of life-cycle cost, reliability, safety and maintenance"
