1. A process of recycling a composite material comprising a base material composited with a polymer material, the process comprising:
applying a microwave radiation having a frequency of from about 500 MHz to about 3000 MHz to the composite material in a reactor filled with H2O and N2 to discharge other internal gases in the reactor from the reactor for an anaerobic reaction; and
contacting the composite material with H2O and N2 filled in the reactor for the anaerobic reaction without a combustion of carbon into CO2 to the reactor while maintaining the non-ionizing radiation until the polymer material is substantially removed from the base material to produce a recycled base material through an anaerobic reaction without combustion,
wherein the H2O comprises from about 0.1% to about 20% by volume of gas in the reactor.
