What is it about?
When it comes to reutilization of glass reinforced plastic composites (GRP), mechanical recycling is one of the most widely used methods. This research brings further insight to environmental assessment of mechanical recycling by comparatively analyzing three types of products (concrete block, plastic foil and ceramic sink) from an LCA perspective.

Why is it important?
A deeper relationship between theoretical LCA modelling, factual production and market potential can be established. Results show that reutilizing GRP recyclate as replacement for petroleum-based products delivers most environmental benefits.
Perspectives
Benefits of recycling may equally be interesting for further research and companies pursuing the mechanical approach.
