Abstract:
1. A method of producing solid composite products comprising: shredding composite materials to form smaller pieces of shredded composite materials; grinding the smaller pieces of shredded composite materials to form particles of composite material, wherein the particles of composite material are pieces of mixed fiber and resin, and wherein the particles of composite material have an average fiber length of about one-quarter inch in diameter; using the particles to form a solid composite product, wherein the composite materials are recycled windmill turbine blades, and wherein the solid composite product withstands compressive stress of at least about 10,000 psi with a compressive strain of less than about 7%; combining the particles with a resin to form a mixture; disposing of the mixture in a form or a mold; and curing the mixture to form a solid composite product, wherein the resin in the cured solid composite product comprises less than about 30% by weight of the cured product,
