Abstract

Accordingly with the principles of the circular economy, mixed plastic wastes can be recycled also by thermoforming, getting new non-oriented fibers composite materials. this study highlights the mechanical behavior of new composite material plates containing recycled glass fibers as reinforcing element and ABs-PMMA mixture as matrix, as well as an efficient way to convert a manufacturing process wastes in a product. the mechanical behavior of new composite material plates was evidenced by tensile, flexural and compression tests. in addition a surface morphology analysis was performed.
