FRP Circular Economy Study
August 2018
This study by Composites UK, Scott Bader and Renuables, with funding support from the National Composites Centre and Innovate UK, look into the best way forward for disposal/recycling of waste fibre reinforced polymer material (FRP) in terms of cost and environmental impact, in the UK. The material being considered in this study is primarily glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) which uses a thermoset resin. It may also be relevant to thermoset carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) which is currently uneconomical to recycle by pyrolysis.
