A significant amount of waste composites is generated each year and the need for a recycling method is becoming a necessity. Environmental Technical Services has developed, with the support of the University of Missouri-St.Louis, a method for recovering valuable constituents from composite materials. The process converts the polymer matrix to lower chain hydrocarbons and fuel gas leaving behind fibres. Mechanical tests of BMC panels, reinforced concrete and compression moulded panels made with recovered fibres were carried out. 10 refs. USA... [Pg.70]
