description
The MOD would like to better understand the current landscape for recycling, regenerating, or repurposing of Soft Armour.
| 1. | How does your business recycle, regenerate, or repurpose soft armour? Including all components/raw materials and what are the final products you produce? |
| 2. | If your business does not make final products, please indicate, and provide details on the various companies you sell to and what they use it for? |
| 3. | The specific grade/composition of material produced, post recycling/regeneration/re-purposing, and how this is determined (i.e., testing methodology)? |
| 4. | The applicability of the recycling/regeneration/re-purposing process to other "high tenacity fibres", e.g., Aramids, Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP), Carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) etc? |
| 5. | Who do you currently do this for? |
| 6. | What is your businesses capacity both to hold and process soft armour? |
| 7. | What security measure do you undertake for holding this type of equipment and what process do you use to certify demilitarisation? |
| 8. | How does your business provide and sustain sustainability throughout? |
| 9. | At what value do you currently buy soft armour for? |
| 10. | Any other information you can provide on the cost of the process in terms of money and sustainability of the process? |
