1. A recycled and vitrimerized composition, comprising:
a crosslinked polymer,
a filler, and
a catalyst dissolved within a liquid solvent to form a solution comprising between 10 to 20 wt. % of catalyst,
wherein the solution is infused in a network comprising the crosslinked polymer so as to swell the composition and form a dynamic network and wherein the filler is between 1 to 30 wt. % of the composition.
