Abstract

In this report, an overview of the most common recycling methods for composite materials is created. It describes the process and recyclate characteristics, as well as the (dis)advantages of each method and the environmental and technological development. To draw conclusions on the current feasibility of composite recycling, the gathered data is analysed on the subject of application, quality, economy and sustainability. The report ends with a future outlook, and what implications this might have.
