Abstract
Waste disposal strategy for composites is dominated by the so called four “R”s: reduce, reuse, recycle, recover. For polymer and elastomeric matrix composites this process is complicated by the mixed nature of the constituent parts and their subsequent economic viability. Therefore, this article outlines the various process options and major issues in reuse, recycling and recovery of these materials. As composite materials have become increasingly widespread due to their advantages, commercially viable recycling and recovery solutions are yet to be satisfactorily defined for all materials streams. For this reason this article will consider major themes in relation to the reprocessing distinction between thermoset and thermoplastic matrix materials and the impact of various components on the subsequent recovery efforts. It will also cover processes for recycling and recovery. The design concepts of ‘reduce’ are also covered as part of more holistic design possibilities and future prospects and conclusions are presented in the drive towards the circular economy.
