Abstract

A process arrangement and a process for the production of a fiber-reinforced plastics component made of at least one continuous-fiber-reinforced semifinished textile fiber product with reactive thermoplastic matrix material, where during the manufacture of the semifinished fiber product trimming residues arise, composed of a composite made of fibers and of the reactive thermoplastic matrix material. The trimming residues obtained during the manufacture of the semifinished fiber product are supplied to a recycling unit for the provision of a recyclate as reactive, as yet unpolymerized starting material for the production of a further component.
