During the past years, recycling of thermoplastics has attracted the interest of the plastics industry. The recyclability is one of the advantages of these raw materials. On the other hand, for other materials such as thermosets, the creation of an irreversible three-dimensional network makes recycling more complex. The recycling solutions are therefore different: mechanical, thermal or chemical.

CANOE platform is working on recycling this type of material, and in particular on the acrylic resin Elium® loaded with glass fibers.
