Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed is a method of recycling thermoplastic composite fabric, wherein the thermoplastic composite fabric is a precursor for making a composite structure. The method comprises: providing thermoplastic composite fabric offcuts comprising a weave of thermoplastic polymer fibres and structural fibres, and combining the thermoplastic fabric offcuts to form recycled thermoplastic composite fabric, wherein the recycled thermoplastic composite fabric is a precursor for making a first composite structure. The offcuts may be combined by fluffing up and needle punching. Also disclosed is a corresponding recycled thermoplastic composite fabric and a composite part made using such a fabric, as well as precursor materials and composite parts comprising a non-woven thermoplastic composite core.
