FRP Recycling in EU, NA and Pacific Rim Area

-Challenging Development in Chemical Recycling by Subcritical Water Process-

Abstract

This paper presents to report a summary of the recycling activities with FRP or composite materials in EU. NA(North America) and Pacific Rim Area, where, recently, great efforts have been made. In EU, "Green Label System" and "ECRC (European Composites Recycling Concept)" have been started. In NA, recycling material (recyclate) is much more applied. In Japan, "Cement Kiln process" is successfully being devised while chemical recycling technologies are being developed actively.
