Kevlar recycling involves removing the material from ballistic vests which are no longer used and the material is separated and used to produce other items for consumer use. The material should be recycled since it is very

difficult to destroy. If these vests are sent to landfills, they will sit in the landfill and not decompose for a very long time if ever. Vests put into landfills become open for use by people that law enforcement may come

up against in their line of duty.
