Economic and environmental assessment of recovery and disposal pathways for CFRP waste management (2018, background): “…has also received a lot of attention in order to study the environmental benefits of these composites that can be gained from the use of more conventional materials (Takahashi et al., 2002; Duflou et al., 2009; Suzuki and Takahashi, 2005; Song et al., 2009; Das, 2011; Witik et al., 2011, 2012).”
Recycling and reuse of composite materials for wind turbine blades: An overview (2019, background): “It is indeed renown that GF cost less than CFs which are more expensive, both in terms of economic(12) and energetic costs.(13) However, there are limited data in literature for assessing the life cycle benefits of composite recycling, particularly glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP).”
Absolute versus Relative Environmental Sustainability (2013, unknown): “However, LCA studies indicate that the environmental benefit of the lightweight components by far outweighs the disadvantage of their lack of recyclability (Schmidt et al. 2004; Song et al. 2009).”
Natural fiber–reinforced composites: A review on material, manufacturing, and machinability (2019, unknown): “(a) Cost per unit and (b) energy intensity of composite manufacturing techniques.(68,69) RTM: resin transfer molding; HL: hand layup; EX: extrusion; AFP: automated fiber placement; CM: compression molding.”
