They are not recycled owing to the lack of dedicated facilities. They are taken to landfill or recovered CMR: substances that are Carcinogenic, Mutagenic and in incineration or co-incineration plants to produce heat Toxic for human reproduction. and/or electricity for industry, partially or fully substituting for fossil fuels. F SMC: Sheet Molding Compound is used for compression FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer) Rebar: molding—often of large parts—where higher mechanical A term used in construction to describe reinforcements usedresistance is required. SMC is a mix of polyester resin, in concrete, made of plastic composite and glass fibers. inert fillers, reinforcing fibers, catalysts, dyes and inhibitors, releasing and thickening agents. SMC can be used for I molding complex shapes. First-rate mechanical properties, excellent surface aspect and a high level of electrical Initiator: chemical compound that initiates the polymerizationinsulation make SMC the ideal materialfor Class A reaction under the action of a catalyst, heat or UV emissions.automotive body panels, high resistance electrical parts and various structural parts.
