Abstract
Reinforcing polymers with fibers has been an effective way to replace standard materials in many industrial applications. But people must ask themselves about what to do with these materials when the materials’ lifespan ends. There is nothing actually new about polymer recycling nowadays, but there are many researchers investigating better outcomes in composites and nanocomposites recycling. This chapter will give a concise overview about polymeric materials recycling, as well as the mains challenges in obtaining natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites. With this information, maybe mankind can figure out better ways to recycle or upcycle these heterogeneous and lasting materials. Or better yet, to achieve for them a sustainable life cycle, from cradle to cradle, because this is the reason why there is no waste in nature.
