Today, fiberglass is widely used for many different products ranging from wind turbine blades to body parts for cars and ship hulls, and much more. Fiberglass is often used instead of metal as it is lightweight, does not degrade, and requires less maintenance.
However, when fiberglass products are discarded, that durability becomes problematic as the material cannot be remelted or otherwise sorted into its constituent parts for any commercial use. As global use of fiberglass continues to grow, we need a sustainable solution for fiberglass waste.
