Är det inte dags att börja återvinna glasfiberplast? Ett växande miljöproblem är glasfiberkompositavfall. Idag existerar ingen tydlig återvinningsmetod utan istället läggs avfallet på hög eller förbränns. En cirkulär process som återvinner avfallet och introducerar det tillbaka in i tillverkningen kan gynna industrin både ekonomiskt och ur ett miljöperspektiv. Vad är dagens tekniska utmaningar ochThe reinforced composite industry is expanding. This raises the need for more sustainable resource use and waste management. A concept to combat both is circularity, creating a loop between the raw resources and the waste. Two important parts of circularity are recycling and reusing. This thesis presents literature studies on recycling, reuse and end-of-life methods for glass fibre-reinforced plas
