Recycling and Using Fiberglass

Fiberglass is a versatile material that provides tangible potential over conventional materials such as wood, aluminum and steel. Fiberglass is produced by using less energy and is used in products which result in less carbon emissions. Fiberglass offers advantages of being light weight yet has high mechanical strength, impact resistant, is chemical, fire and corrosion resistant, and a good thermal and electrical insulator.

Even though fiberglass is extremely useful for the reasons previously listed, an "end of life solution" is needed. Current FRP composites with thermoset resins do not biodegrade. For many applications where fiberglass is used, this is a good thing. However, in landfills, this is not. For this reason, recent research and development has good into a solution.
Research has lead to methods such as grinding, incineration, and pyrolysis being used for recycling fiberglass.

The recycled fiberglass finds its way in various industries and can be used in various end products. For instance, recycled fibers have been effective in reducing shrinkage in concrete thereby increasing its durability. This concrete can be used best in freezing temperate zones for concrete floors, pavements, sidewalks and curbs.

Other uses for recycled fiberglass include being used as a filler in resin, which can increase mechanical properties in certain applications. Recycled fiberglass has also found its use together with other products such as recycled tire products, plastic wood products, asphalt, roofing tar and cast polymer counter tops.
