Abstract: the future. Also, for this type of materials, several regulations put pressure on producers to consider the waste treatment. Waste treatment of polymer composites is more complex compared to recycling of steel and aluminium, since they contain a mixture of materials with a multitude of combinations of fibres and polymer matrixes. In addition, for sandwich constructions there is also core material to consider. In this paper we started with a research of the most important issues influencing the waste management of waste products and manufacturing waste containing composite materials. These issues are environmental demands in form of regulations, waste streams, techniques for material recycling, energy recovery and methods for analysing costs and environmental effects. The studied techniques for treatment of waste are focused to material recycling and energy recovery. In the framework of this paper investigations and experimental work were performed within the case studies. The case studies were divided into three groups with respect to the included materials: carbon fibre reinforced plastic, thermoset glass fibre composite - sheet moulding compound and thermoplastic composite with natural fibre. Also, analysis of the costs and environmental effects were made. The costs of the different waste treatments were analysed from a waste producer perspective. The influence of the environmental effects was studied with Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) according to the standard ISO14040. According to the results of the analysis corresponding recommendations were proposed for each material.
