Development of Environmental Technology for Carbon Fibre Reinforced Materials Recycling

This article presents a new material obtained from a mix of waste of carbon fibre, sand and an epoxy resin. The obtained material values the reinforcement material waste that is accumulated in the process of production, of the companies that produce fibre-reinforced composite material. This new material obtained from the integral value of the carbon fibre waste is used as a material for the consolidation of the moulds made of composite material or in the domain of construction materials. The authors realize a study regarding the physico-mechanical characteristics of the morphology of the breaking surfaces and a chemical analysis of the EDAX constituents. The mechanical characteristics of this new material at compression, show us values doubled from the ones of a classic concrete and a density decreased with approximately 20 percent.
