Abstract

A best practicable environmental option (BPEO) guide providing information on the disposal and recycling options available for Fibre reinforced polymers (FRP) waste, uses of FRP recyclate, ecocomposites, and composite recycling facilities. The aim is to enable the construction industry to make informed decisions about material choices at the specification stage, consider factors to enable easier deconstruction at the design stage and assess the relative merits of the disposal options available at the end of the service life. Gives details of legislation which will impact on choices for material re-use, recycling or disposal, discusses research into the recyclability of FRP building materials, describes products that can be manufactured from FRP recyclate, and presents a financial assessment.
