Research and Markets: A Comprehensive Review of the Management, Recycling and Reuse of Waste Composites

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/dfc671/management_recycl) has announced the addition of Woodhead Publishing Ltd's new report "Management, Recycling and Reuse of Waste Composites" to their offering.

“Management, Recycling and Reuse of Waste Composites”

This authoritative reference work provides a comprehensive review of the management, recycling and reuse of waste composites. These are issues which are of increasing importance due to the growing use of composites in many industries, increasingly strict legislation and concerns about disposal of composites by landfill or incineration.

Part one discusses the management of waste composites and includes an introduction to composites recycling and a chapter on EU legislation for recycling waste composites. Part two reviews thermal technologies for recycling waste composites with chapters on pyrolysis, catalytic transformation, thermal treatments for energy recovery and fluidized bed pyrolysis. Part 3 covers mechanical methods of recycling waste composites. This section includes chapters on additives for recycled plastic composites, improving mechanical recycling and the quality and durability of mechanically recycled composites. Parts 4 discusses improving sustainable manufacture of composites, with chapters on environmentally-friendly filament winding of FRP composites, process monitoring and new developments in producing more functional and sustainable composites. Part 5 gives a review of case studies including end-of-life wind turbine blades, aerospace composites, marine composites, composites in construction and the recycling of concrete.

With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Management, recycling and reuse of waste composites will be a standard reference for anyone involved in the disposal or recycling of waste composites.
