In recent years, the introduction of plastic materials used in day to day life has been increased drastically. The production of fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) composite materials is a major source of non-degradable waste. Fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) materials are being increasingly used in several applications, but especially in the construction and transportation industries. The management of FRP materials, particularly those made with thermosetting resins, is a critical issue for the composites industry as these materials cannot be re-processed. This study focuses on recycling FRP chop waste. FRP is recycled by shredding it in small powdered sized particles and moulding it with suitable matrix like resin, concrete and fly ash. By this research huge amount of FRP waste can be reused and light weight but strong products can be manufactured. This paper presents a state-of-the-art solution for the present methods available to manage FRP waste. Thus results obtained from recycled FRP products are satisfying than the commercial plastics which is discussed. Different products made from waste reused FRP are gone under destructive testing like compressive strength, SEM for microstructure, shore testing for hardness, etc. For compressive strength universal testing machine (UTM) is used and results are discussed.
