Abstract

Thermoplastic composite materials have become indispensable for the aerospace industry due to their processing and recycling potentials. The use of recyclable thermoplastic composites in aerospace manufacturing, offers a solution to the composite waste. It is a fact that a lot of waste convenient materials emerge every year. In this study, the advantages of thermoplastic composites being suitable for recycling and the benefits of recycling as a waste management in terms of environment, economy and energy were evaluated. Current outcomes indicate that thermoplastic composites are quite convenient for recycling and reshaping. In this context, the use of recyclable thermoplastics in production provides economic and environmental benefit by reducing the production of zero materials.
