Abstract: A method of recycling scraps or offcuts of uncured composite material, such as pre-impregnated or “prepreg” scraps or offcuts having reinforcing fibres and uncured polymer matrix material, includes introducing the scraps or offcuts into a mixing device directly; mixing the scraps or offcuts in the mixing device to blend uncured polymer matrix material and reinforcing fibres of the scraps or offcuts into a generally homogenous or consistent mixture; and feeding or conveying the mixture from the mixing device into a shaping mechanism to form a component or semi-finished product and preferably on a continuous basis.
