On September 19, Toray Industries, Inc., announced it signed an agreement with Honda Motor Co., Ltd., to jointly develop a chemical recycling technology for glass-fiber reinforced nylon 6 parts recovered from end-of-life vehicles. The two have begun verifying this technology, which entails depolymerizing with subcritical water and regenerating the materials as caprolactam, a raw monomer. Subcritical water is in a high-temperature, high-pressure state, just below the critical point of water (374°C, 22 megapascals). It differs from water at normal temperatures and pressures in several ways, such as by dissolving and hydrolyzing organic compounds.

Advances in electric mobility are arguably revolutionizing urban and short-distance transportation. However, there is a need to fulfil the high-performance requirements of long-distance electric transportation, whether it's on the road (such as supercars, trucks, or buses), electric aviation, maritime transport, or for new electric rail or hyperloop. One of the current challenges to harness the full potential of electromobility lies in the development of high-performance energy storage technologies, such as batteries, fuel cells, or other emerging technological alternatives.
