Abstract

The products of today are the waste of tomorrow. Certainly this is not in everybody's mind when buying a new TV-set, a sofa or a boat, but nevertheless it is the truth.

This paper deals with plastic small craft (boats). The focus is not on the boats, but on the material: fibreglass-reinforced plastics. This is a construction material developed during the Second World War, but it was not until the 1960's that it came into general usage. Nowadays, the material is increasingly used in the transportation sector, a fact which can be attributed to the call for a reduction in fuel consumption by a decrease in weight. However, in the long run, this development is a threat to today's well-functioning systems for recycling old vehicles.

Even if old plastic small craft can be considered as a marginal problem in most countries, the material they are built of is not, at least not from a waste-handling point of view. In order to reduce demand for landfill space, finding ways of recycling fibreglassreinforced plastics is a challenge.

回收旧塑料小船
今天的产品是明天的浪费。当然,不是每个人在购买新电视机、沙发或船时都会想到这一点,但这是事实。这篇论文论述的是塑料小船。重点不是船,而是材料:玻璃纤维增强塑料。这是在第二次世界大战期间开发的一种建筑材料,但直到20世纪60年代才开始普遍使用。如今,这种材料越来越多地用于运输部门,这一事实可归因于通过减轻重量来减少燃料消耗的呼吁。然而,从长远来看,这种发展对当今运行良好的旧车辆回收系统构成了威胁。即使在大多数国家,旧的塑料小船可以被认为是一个边缘问题,但建造它们的材料不是,至少从废物处理的角度来看不是。为了减少对垃圾填埋场空间的需求,寻找回收玻璃纤维增强塑料的方法是一项挑战。
