In this study, we demonstrate the use of the ceramic manufacturing process with waste glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) consisting of thermosetting plastic with glass fibers, a material that is otherwise difficult to recycle. We also examined the strength of ceramics when GFRP with high glass fiber content was used. Various specimens with different porosities were made using phenol resin containing over 50% in mass of glass fiber. Bending and compressive tests were carried out on the samples. The results confirmed that porous glass fiber reinforced ceramics could be produced in the same way when thermosetting plastics with glass fibers were substituted for the use of thermoplastics with glass fibers as the waste GFRP. We confirmed that porous ceramics with higher strength equivalent to those made from clay alone could be produced by mixing clay and GFRP with a high glass fiber content.
