Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP)

Glass Reinforced Plastic also commonly known as Fiberglass and Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) is a composite material. This means it consists of two or more essential materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties. Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) is exactly what it suggests, plastic reinforced by fine fibres made of glass and resin.

GRP is flexible, strong, durable and lightweight. As such, it’s used in many different industries. Organisations may use GRP for Architectural Structures, Construction Materials, Safety Apparatus and Boat Manufacturing, to name a few. Read here about how Agecko saved their client £18,000 per annum.

Manufacturers who use GRP will naturally produce waste throughout the production processes. Historically, 100% of this problematic waste stream would have gone as General Waste. It will have gone straight to landfill. However, Agecko’s ‘in-house’ waste specialist has found a new solution. We use an alternative greener, GRP recycling solution.

Agecko UK Ltd work alongside Composites UK. We educate and encourage companies to get involved with GRP recycling. The most common outlet for this waste stream would be Waste to Energy.

This process generates energy in the form of heat from the primary treatment of waste. Waste is processed into a fuel source. The only remaining waste after the burn is the actual glass fibers. These fibers sit within the Incinerator Bottom Ash (ICA) and is collected. Ash is processed to make an aggregate suitable for construction projects and in the manufacture of asphalt.
