Systemic Circular Economy Solutions for Fiber Reinforced Composites

---

Circular Economy is an emerging production-consumption paradigm
showing the potential to recover and re-use functions and materials from post-use,
end-of-life, products. Even if several barriers still exist at different levels, from legislation to customer acceptance, the transition to this sustainable industrial model has
been demonstrated to potentially bring economic, environmental, and social bene-
fits, at large scale. Composite materials, which usage is constantly increasing, are
composed by a fiber reinforcement in a resin matrix. Among them, the most widely
adopted are Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastics (GFRP) and Carbon Fiber Reinforced
Plastics (CFRP). Their applications range from wind blades to automotive, construction, sporting equipment and furniture. The post-use treatment of composite-made
products is still an open challenge. Today, they are either sent to landfill, where not
banned, or incinerated. The application of Circular Economy principles may lead
to the creation of new circular value-chains aiming at re-using functions and materials from post-use composite-made products in high value-added applications, thus
increasing the sustainability of the composite industry as a whole.
