The "second life" of waste glass fiber composites

"my country's composite material manufacturing industry scraps (here mainly refers to glass fiber composite materials and carbon fiber composite materials) and scrap products have an annual output of 300,000 to 400,000 tons of solid waste; in 2020, about 6 million tons of composite scrap products will expire, It is increasing year by year, and it is predicted that by 2030, it will exceed 30 million tons; wind turbine blades and nacelle covers will gradually appear off-line after 2024, and by 2040, the off-line volume of composite materials will exceed 4 million tons.” According to China Material Recycling Statistics from the fiber composite material regeneration branch of the association show that it is imperative to rationally recycle waste composite materials.
