WASTE PROBLEMS AND MATERIAL EFFICIENCY IN THE AREA OF WOVEN REINFORCED POLYMERIC COMPOSITE MATERIALS.

Waste problems that cannot be solved by simple procedural adjustments or improvements in practices require more substantial long-term changes. It is necessary to develop possible prevention options for the waste problems, but also, several policies regarding the re-using materials or using the recycled materials are necessaries. In this sense, the concept of the raw materials substitution implies effective and efficient use of raw materials in scope to minimize losses along the process system, as well as using different raw materials that will not generate waste during the manufacturing processes. This concept also further implies re-using materials or using recycled materials. In this way, the natural resources should be used in the most efficient way. Recycled waste can be returned back into the economy as secondary raw materials, thereby achieving the full potential of these materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
