Fiber renforced recycled thermoplastic composites and methods for their manufacture are presented. In a preferred embodiment, the thermoplastic composite incorporates a matrix of recycled thermoplastic and a plurality of high modulos, reinforcing fibers, with the recycled thermoplastic including polyethylene, nylon, PET and sty-rene-butadiane rubber, and the reinforcing fibers including glass fibers, natural fibers, carbon fibers, and aramid fibers. Preferably, each of the reinforcing fibers has a minimum length of approcimately � of an inch and a modulus of approximately one million psi. |
