Abstract
An apparatus for recycling of fibers pre-impregnated with resin may include a container configured to receive a predetermined amount of solvent and a predetermined amount of fibers pre-impregnated with resin. The apparatus may also include an energy source configured to provide sound energy into the container in order to facilitate the removal of resin from the fibers, and a controller configured to control a frequency of the sound energy provided by the energy source into the container.
