The IKV project "LFT Recycling" addresses the question of how large-volume LFT components can be recycled at the material level and how high-quality recyclates can be reused. To investigate the material recyclability of long-fibre-reinforced thermoplastics (LFT), a pilot-scale processing chain was implemented, comprising plastification, compression moulding, component production, mechanical shredding, and reprocessing. Substantial fibre damage and shortening already occur during both shredding and plastification. Screw speed proved to be a key parameter. Furthermore, it can be inferred that during shredding, suitable classification enables removal of fine, heavily damaged fractions from the cycle to enhance material quality.
