Glass Fiber Composites
The on-line exchange service at Fiberglass World connects generators of
Scrap Fiberglass
and
Composite Materials
directly with recyclers and by-product processors in an effort to reduce waste and preserve valuable strategic resources.
Please feel free to explore additional information regarding
Multi Matrix Composite Wastes.
Fiberglass, Composites and Advanced Materials
The challenge with recycling Fiberglass, Composites and Advanced Materials is that the durable technical properties
that are so desirable also make the wastes durable.
There are currently three commonly accepted methods of approaching composites recovery, Chemical or
Thermochemical Recovery
recaptures the high valued resins while
Thermal Recovery
is growing in popularity and
Mechanical Recovery
which has been with us for a long time but the technology continues to improve and evolve.
With the movement towards a green economy Fiberglass, Composites and Advanced Materials are being utilized to
replace conventional materials such as metal, wood and plastic in critical applications
due to these fiber-based materials having a better balance between their strength and weight.
An increased awareness of Environmental Sustainability has focused attention on waste and by-product resources.
Carbon Fiber Composites
Carbon Fiber Recovery
from production byproducts and end of life scraps is one of many types of
Synthetic Fiber Recycling
covered in the online exchange service.
Carbon Fiber used as a reinforcement is used in many high strength performance materials and are showing up
in ever increasing volumes in the waste stream.
If you wish to recycle Carbon Fiber Composites the online exchange matches generators of
Scrap Composite Materials
directly with recyclers and processors of advanced materials.
Chemical & Thermochemical Recovery
Chemical & Thermochemical Recovery, sometimes referred to as solvolysis, uses selective solvent extraction used to reclaim
desired resins from
inorganic
and other undesirable organic elements.
These methods capture high value resources that are otherwise lost to the disposal stream.
Recovered Resin Refining
Resins recovered from the solvent extraction process can be re-refined into prime grade specifications.
If you wish to Buy or Sell
Recovered Resins,
Please ADD a listing to the Fiberglass Composites Exchange.
Recovered Resins may include any combination of Gelcoat, Epoxy, Esters, Polyester, Phenolic Resins etc.
reclaimed from composite materials and suitable for reuse or further refining.
The material may be reclaimed from thermochemical, chemical (solvolysis) or mechanical recovery process methods
and may also include obsolete or end of run production residuals.
Thermal Recovery
Thermal Recovery or pyrolysis is a method that uses heat to separate the organic
hydrocarbon materials
into a
Bio Crude,
and then
refined
into fuels, resins and chemicals.
The inorganic fractions in this case are largely
glass fiber residues.
There are several approaches to
Thermal Reduction
some variations are better suited to composites recovery than others for a number of
technical and economic reasons.
Mechanical Recovery
Mechanical Recovery through shredding & grinding while keeping the blend of resin and fiber integrity intact.
The product produced by this method is a
Recovered Composite Feedstock
(RCF).
This recovered material is a source of secondary raw materials for the
Green Composite
products industry.
Green Composite Materials
Green Composite Materials products contain content made from the
secondary materials
recovered from composite recycling.
If you Buy or Sell Composites or Advanced Material products with a
Green content
you may list an inquiry in the Fiberglass, Composites and Advanced Materials exchange.
The exchange service is assisting in efforts towards achieving Environmental Sustainability goals.
Fiber Recovery
Recovery of the inert inorganic fiber fraction consisting mostly of
Glass Fiber Residues
for direct use or blended into
composite products
for the fiber property values
otherwise becomes a feedstock for raw
refined glass.

Fiberglass Boat Recycling
Old end-of-life fiberglass boats need to be demolished by
dismantling and stripping out all the wood, metals and non fiberglass materials,
and then the size reduction issue must be dealt with to enable transportation to a recovery facility.
The Fiberglass & Composites Material recycling exchange attempts to link recyclers of old boats
in an effort to reduce the derelict and abandon boat dilemma.
You may use the online fiberglass recycling exchange service to attempt to find a solution for your
Fiberglass Boat Scrap.
Anyone who provides boat recycling services may include themselves in the
online recycling directory.
Onsite boat demolition and removal services may be one of this decades hidden business opportunities.
Oversized Composite Scrap
There are unique challanges for the recycling of
Oversized Composite Scrap
from items that require special handling or preparation due to size.
In an age of rapidly developing technology many items will become obsolete or inefficient before
their originally anticipated end-of-life.
There may be an onsite size reduction issue to enable transportation to a recovery facility,
Wind Turbine Blade Recycling
is an example of this challange.
Fiberglass & Composite Equipment
The Fiberglass, Composites and Advanced Materials industry requires specialized
Composite Manufacturing Equipment.
If you wish to Buy or Sell fabrication equipment please make a listing on the Fiberglass Word exchange.
If you wish to Buy or Sell
Used Fiberglass Equipment
you may make a listing into the exchange on Fiberglass World.
Continuing innovation in the development of
Composite Recycling Equipment
Systems and Technologies is leading to new efficiencies for Environmental Sustainability.
