Fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) (also fibre-reinforced polymer) are composite materials made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres. The fibres are usually fibreglass, carbon, or aramid, while the polymer is usually an epoxy, vinylester or polyester thermosetting plastic. FRPs are commonly used in the aerospace, automotive, marine, and construction industries.
This is a very light weight material which is widely use nowadays. However, the problem is how are we going to keep all this material after they are not use since they can't be biodegradable naturally; This is another hectic for our environment.
