How can we recycle MoS2 from polymeric nanocomposites?

Some nanoparticles are more precious than gold, so being able to recycle them would offer manufacturers important savings.

You've listed a specific filler, in a generic reference to polymers. Is there a specific type of polymer you are referring to? My initial thought would be to add scrap polymer to the masterbatch of the new polymer; however, this would only be adequate for certain polymer types and applications.
