Abstract
The manufacturing and disposal stages of Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) boats become very significant since they generate environmentally hazardous waste. Although most boat manufacturers have upgraded their facilities to minimize waste, the amount of waste generated is directly proportional to the size of the FRP boats. One option for dealing with the waste generated by the FRP boatbuilding industry is to use FRP recyclate for the production of waterproof partition boards. Under the current research, eleven specific manufacturing guidelines for developing waterproof partition boards using recycled FRP waste were developed. Waterproof partition boards were made from crushed flakes from discarded FRP boats and manufacturing stage waste. The crushed FRP flakes of the disposed of boats and manufacturing stage waste were used as raw materials to produce partition boards, and a mechanical shredding process was employed to produce recyclates. The approximate thicknesses and the aspect ratios of the recyclates used to manufacture partition boards were 0.5–2 mm and 0.04–0.3, respectively.
