The position paper is supported by the European Plastics Converters (EuPC) and the European Composite Recycling Service Company (ECRC).
The paper discusses current recycling technologies for glass reinforced thermoset composites and describes the advantages of the cement kiln route.
It concludes that: "Following the outcomes of the recycling technologies developed so far, the European composites industry considers the cement kiln route to be the most sustainable solution for waste management of glass fibre reinforced thermoset parts."
