According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Recyclable Fiberglass market size was valued at US$ 67.07 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 107 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 7.0% during review period.
Recyclable Fiberglass (often shortened to rGF) is a market term for glass-fiber material that is recovered from waste streams and reused as a reinforcement or filler instead of being made entirely from new (“virgin”) glass fiber. In practice, the market includes several product types. The most common are mechanically recycled fibers (glass-fiber composites are shredded/ground and the output is a fiber-rich powder or short-fiber fraction), and thermally/chemically treated recyclates (processes that remove or break down the polymer resin so the glass fiber/mineral fraction can be recovered, sometimes with more cleaning). A related (but slightly different) category is new glass fiber manufactured using recycled glass (cullet) as feedstock—this reduces the need for virgin raw materials and can lower melting energy, but it is not the same as recovering fibers from old composites.
From a market-definition point of view, the “Recycled Fiberglass market” usually refers to recovered fibers or fiber-containing recyclates that are sold into downstream applications as a reinforcement or functional additive. These materials are typically shorter, more variable in length, and may carry resin residues or mixed fillers compared with virgin continuous glass fiber. Because of that, rGF is often positioned as a cost-effective and lower-carbon reinforcement for applications that do not need the highest structural performance. Common downstream uses include thermoplastics reinforcement (especially short-fiber compounds), construction materials (cement/concrete and mortar), asphalt modifiers, sheet molding compounds / bulk molding compounds as filler-reinforcement, and various “hybrid” composite products where rGF is blended with virgin fiber or other fillers. Academic reviews also highlight the route of incorporating GFRP waste into cementitious systems (concrete/mortar) as a practical pathway, though it is usually “downcycling” rather than true closed-loop fiber-to-fiber recycling.
On the demand side, the strongest reason rGF exists as a market is simple: glass-fiber composites are used everywhere, but they are hard to recycle. Glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP) are in wind blades, boats, pipes, tanks, vehicle parts, building panels, and more; once cured (especially thermosets), they do not melt and remold like common plastics. Reviews of FRP waste management repeatedly point out that landfill and incineration have been common historically, while recycling routes (mechanical, thermal, chemical, cement co-processing) are still scaling and often face cost and quality barriers. As the installed base of composite products grows, the amount of end-of-life material grows too, and that creates both a waste problem and a feedstock opportunity for rGF.
In 2025, global Recyclable Fiberglass reached approximately 195.7 K MT, with an average global market price of around US$ 333 per MT. The industry's gross profit margin is approximately 20%-25%.
A major market trend is that rGF is being pulled forward by the “wave” of decommissioning in wind energy. Wind turbine blades are mainly composite structures, and many are glass-fiber based.
Another strong trend is that recycled Fiberglass is becoming part of a broader “circular composites” discussion, especially in Europe. The EU Waste Framework Directive sets core concepts like waste hierarchy (prevention, reuse, recycling, recovery, disposal) and provides the legal framing that pushes industries to move away from landfill toward recycling and recovery. In parallel, composite and glass-fiber industry groups have argued that practical scaling depends on basic things like correct waste classification and dedicated waste codes for composite waste streams (for example, for wind blades and boats), because those details affect collection, shipment, treatment rules, and investment decisions. When regulation and policy start treating composites as a defined waste stream rather than “miscellaneous waste,” the economics of recycling infrastructure become clearer, and rGF supply becomes more reliable.
From the technology side, the recycled Fiberglass market is shaped by what recycling actually delivers. Mechanical recycling (shredding/grinding) is widely used because it is comparatively straightforward, but it usually produces short fibers and a mixed powder with resin and fillers, which limits the highest-value applications. Thermal and chemical routes (including pyrolysis, fluidized bed, solvolysis) can remove more resin, but they can be more expensive and energy-intensive, and the recovered Fiberglass can still lose strength or surface quality compared with virgin fiber, depending on process conditions. This reality drives a market pattern that looks like “many outlets, but mostly mid- to low-performance ones”: rGF is most competitive where short fibers, fillers, and mineral reinforcement are acceptable and where customers can tolerate variability.
