Recycling methods for fibre reinforced polymer composites

Despite their indisputable advantages, the uptake of fibre-reinforced composites is hampered by the fact that more difficult to recycle than thermoplastics. The following is a description of such available for the recovery of such composites. These include industrial on an industrial scale, unfortunately only mechanical shredding, which involves the deterioration of reinforcing are used. The others operate on a laboratory scale.
