New report on composites recycling

The report, ‘Composites Recycling – Where are we now?’, details the current recycling processes available for carbon and glass fibre (FRP) waste, as well as future steps which need to be taken in order to make these processes more commercially viable.   

Recovery processes, re-use and application, the environmental impact of recycling, fibre reinforced thermoplastics and recyclable resins, applications for dry fibres and legislation are all covered. 

To coincide with this Composites UK has updated the Environmental section of its website, adding a list of companies who can actively assist businesses with a range of waste from FRP manufacturing process.

Stella Job, supply chain and environmental manager at Composites UK said: “It is important for Composites UK as a trade association to work with our own industry and the waste management sector to minimise any negative environmental impact and gain the best value from our waste. We are committed to supporting new processes and supply chains which will help us achieve this.”
