A hybrid rocket fuel was developed by recycling the runner (frame) of an ABS plastic model. An X-ray inspection was performed to confirm internal defects in the regenerated fuel, and a thermal analysis was performed to compare it with the conventionally used ABS resin. The total impulse was well reproduced in two combustion tests using conventional ABS resin fuel and four combustion tests using recycled plastic. In addition, we conducted a launch test, and although we did not break the altitude record, we succeeded in demonstrating a launch using recycled plastic as fuel.
