Sustainable Recycling of Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites

This book focuses on the sustainable management of Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites (FRPC) and explores their role in mitigating climate change, reducing waste, and promoting circular economy principles. It will examine recycling processes including mechanical, thermal, and chemical methods to understand their implications, effectiveness, and environmental impact. The scientific study of recycling systems’ technical feasibility, economic viability, and ecological impacts helps researchers, engineers, and lawmakers to make informed decisions. It also explains the scientific principles behind recycling of FRPC and their circular economic transition and how these approaches benefit the environment. This book also mentions how recycled FRPC products are employed in different sectors by studying material properties, performance attributes, and life cycle evaluations. It also helps to determine their suitability for energy-efficient systems, sustainable consumer items, and sustainable infrastructure construction using case studies, scientific literature, and statistics. The book’s in-depth investigation of sustainable solutions in recycling fibre-reinforced composites benefits academic researchers and students in materials science, engineering, environmental science, and sustainability studies. The practical insights and case studies help FRPC-dependent professionals in aircraft, automotive, and structural engineering. The book also helps environmental regulators and sustainable development stakeholders establish policy frameworks and collaborate for a cleaner future.
