Textile fiber recycling reinforcement

Recycled materials of many types are coming onto the market. Some companies may even choose to make polymers specifically as compatibilizing additives for selected types of recycled materials. The construction, pipe, and transportation industries are candidates for many of these applications. Ground thermosets with high filler loadings will be an important source of new fillers and manufacturers may be required to use these products in some applications. Recycled textile fibers can serve as reinforcements, which add value to composites if they can be collected in usable forms.
