Abstract

Fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) were first used as a material for boats and bath tubs about 40 years ago. Because of their great durability, wastes including FRP products are increasing. In addition, since the FRP resin is synthesized from expensive reactants, material recycling is highly desirable. Recycling using supercritical water is one solution; however, the cost of producing the high pressure and temperature needed to produce supercritical water prevents the concept from being realized. Therefore, we proposed a system concept based on dual waste-plastics recycling. A numerical survey of the results confirmed that our concept was feasible and would contribute to resource recycling as we expected.
