Abstract
Thanks to their superior mechanical properties, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRPs) are used as advanced materials in different sectors and their application has been extended from aerospace sector to automotive industry, sporting goods, renewable energy and construction. Therefore, the global demand of these type of material has seen an increase during the last years. Nevertheless, an increase of this production goes hand in hand with an increase of non-biodegradable waste (that are expected to be more than 263 ktons by 2030). Currently, unsatisfactory solutions are adopted for the disposal of these materials, since methods such as landfilling or incineration will lead to a serious environmental pollution.
Unfortunately, to date, the literature does not present much content inherent to disposal of these type of materials, and the main technologies for the recovery of the fibers are not yet applied at the industrial level
