This study describes creating textile waste-based cellulosic composites (TWCCs) by
upcycling used cotton fabrics. The research aims to develop a new fully/partially …

In this study, we focused on the chemical recovery of carbon fibres from epoxy matrix
composite wastes. First, we laminated and cured composite panels from carbon fibre …

As it stands, the UK has no commercialised process capable of recycling waste glass fibre
reinforced thermosets, resulting in disposal via landfill or energy from waste facilities …

Companies are under enormous pressure to implement a reuse or recycling solutions for
manufactured composite components at the end of their useful lives. This includes waste …
