I assume you mean "fiber reinforced plastics" (FRP) rather than fiberglass insulation batting.  There are a variety of processes for FRP manufacturing, but your basic ingredients are a resin and the reinforcing fibers.  Most of the resins (plastic) used are thermoset resins that use an catalyst (activator) to cause the resin to set.  In some cases the fibers are laid into or wound on a mold prior to application of the resin/catalyst.  Other processes use a "gun" to chop the fibers and apply them to the mold at the same time as the resin/catalyst.

you can search the internet for "recycling plastic materials" in your area, there are many manufacturers who colect (they pay for this kind of waste) PE, PP, PS, ABS or PET and made granules from it, selling them after for more, as raw material.

For the plastic bottles: \n98-99% PET or PETE, polyethylene teraphthalate. The remainder consists of additives, mostly antioxidants and anti-clouding agents, used during PETE production.\n\nFor the glass bottles:\n0% in the glass, but 85-90% of the paint is petro-based.  And most glass manufacturers get 100% of the energy used to melt and form the glass from petroleum.

Polyethylene terephthalate ( PET, PETE or the obsolete PETP or PET-P) is a thermoplastic polymer resin of the polyester family that is used in synthetic fibers; beverage, food and other liquid containers; thermoforming applications; and engineering resins often in combination with glass fiber. It is one of the most important raw materials used in man-made fibers.\n\nDepending on its processing and thermal history, it may exist both as an amorphous (transparent) and as a semi-crystalline (opaque and white) material. \nDensity 1370 kg/m3 \nYoung's modulus(E) 2800–3100 MPa \nTensile strength(σt) 55–75 MPa \nElongation @ break 50–150% \nnotch test 3.6 kJ/m2 \nGlass temperature 75 °C \nmelting point 260 °C \nVicat B 170 °C \nThermal conductivity 0.24 W/m.K \nlinear expansion coefficient (α) 7×10−5/K \nSpecific heat (c) 1.0 kJ/kg.K \nWater absorption (ASTM) 0.16 \nPrice 0.5–1.25 €/kg

Wikipedia has a thorough article on the prodcution of polyethylene, and the four different processes involved in the manufacture of different types of PE.\n\nI hope this article helps!

Because if it is made of plastic, Plastic is a product of petroleum.\n\nYou will probably be surprised to know that a plastic bottle is made from the same petrochemical as the fiber we call polyester!\n\nAll plastic products, many of the materials used to make the clothes you wear, or the carpet you walk on, plus hundreds of the other products we take for granted, are made from petrochemicals. As the name implies, a main ingredient in petrochemicals is oil. \n\nPlastic: Any of various complex organic compounds produced by polymerization, capable of being molded, extruded, cast into various shapes and films, or drawn into filaments used as textile fibers. \n-- Webster's Dictionary\n\nThat's an interesting definition, you may be thinking, but really -- how is plastic made? What's involved in the plastics manufacturing process? \nThe Basics of Plastic Manufacturing \n\nThe term "plastics" encompasses organic materials, such as the elements carbon (C), hydrogen (H), nitrogen (N), chlorine (Cl) and sulfur (S), which have properties similar to those naturally grown in organic materials such as wood, horn and rosin. Organic materials are based on polymers, which are produced by the conversion of natural products or by syththesis from primary chemicals coming from oil, natural gas or coal. \n\nThe plastic manufacturing process begins by heating the hydrocarbons in a "cracking process." Here, in the presence of a catalyst, larger molecules are broken down into smaller ones such as ethylene (ethene) C2H4, propylene (propene) C3H6, and butene C4H8 and other hydrocarbons. The yield of ethylene is controlled by the cracking temperature and is more than 30% at 850°C and such products as styrene and vinylchloride can be produced in subsequent reactions. These are then the starting materials for several other types of plastics. Therefore, this process results in the conversion of the natural gas or crude oil components into monomers such as ethylene, propylene, butene and styrene. \n\nThese monomers are then chemically bonded into chains called polymers. Different combinations of monomers yield plastic resins with different properties and characteristics. Each monomer yields a plastic resin with different properties and characteristics. Combinations of monomers produce copolymers with further property variations. \n\nThe resulting resins may be molded or formed to produce several different kinds of plastic products with application in many major markets. The variability of resin permits a compound to be tailored to a specific design or performance requirement. This is why certain plastics are best suited for some applications while others are best suited for entirely different applications. For instance, impact strength measures the ability of a material to withstand shock loading. Heat resistance protects the resin from exposure to excessive temperatures. Chemical resistance protects the resin from breakdown due to exposure to environmental chemicals. \n\nSome examples of material properties in plastic product applications are: \n\nHot-filled packaging used for products such as ketchup \nChemical-resistant packaging used for products such as bleach \nImpact strength of car bumpers \n\nThe Structure of Polymers \n\nPolymers are created by the chemical bonding of many identical or related basic units and those produced from a single monomer type are called homopolymers. These polymers are specifically made of small units bonded into long chains. Carbon makes up the backbone of the molecule and hydrogen atoms are bonded along the carbon backbone. \n\nPolymers that contain primarily carbon and hydrogen are classified as organic polymers. Polypropylene, polybutylene, polystyrene and polymethylpentene are examples of these.\n\nEven though the basic makeup of many polymers is carbon and hydrogen, other elements can also be involved. Oxygen, chlorine, fluorine, nitrogen, silicon, phosphorous and sulfur are other elem

PET or PETE plastic is recyclable from home.   There are literally tens of thousands of types of plastics.  PET plastics have a "1" recycling code on the bottom of them.  It's resins are the most desired for making products out of recycled plastic.\n\nThis page contains the molecular formula, if that helps:\nhttp://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.pslc.ws/mactest/images/petsyn07.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.pslc.ws/mactest/petsyn.htm&h=121&w=677&sz=4&hl=en&start=15&tbnid=ywQQ4fFBb7NGFM:&tbnh=24&tbnw=137&prev=/images%3Fq%3DPET%2Bmolecular%2Bformula%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3Dlang_en%26rls%3DSUNA,SUNA:2005-46,SUNA:en

Amongst many other industrial applications, PTFE is used to coat certain types of hardened, armour-piercing bullets, so as to reduce the amount of wear on the firearm's rifling. These are often mistakenly referred to as "cop-killer" bullets on account of PTFE's supposed ability to ease a bullet's passage through body armour. Any armour-piercing effect is, however, purely a function of the bullet's velocity and rigidity rather than a property of PTFE.\n\nPTFE is an excellent electrical insulator with good dielectric properties. This is especially true at high radio frequencies, making it eminently suitable for use as an insulator in cables and connector assemblies and as a material for printed circuit boards. Combined with its high melting temperature this makes it the material of choice as a high performance substitute for the weaker and more meltable polyethylene that is commonly used in low-cost applications.\n\nDue to its low friction, it is used for applications where sliding action of parts is needed: bearings, bushings, gears, slide plates, etc. In these applications it performs significantly better than nylon and acetal; it is comparable with UHMWPE, although UHMWPE is more resistant to wear than Teflon. For these applications, versions of teflon with mineral oil or molybdenum disulfide embedded as additional lubricants in its matrix are being manufactured.\n\nGore-Tex is a material incorporating teflon membrane with micropores\n\n--------------------\n\nAlso you will find it in some paints, fabric to make is dirt/liquid reppelant, tape used by plumbers etc

It is a registered trademark of the DuPont corporation.  \n\nIts chemical name is polymer of tetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)\n\nOne might surmise that Teflon is a condensation of TE from tetra, FL from flouro an ON just as a chemical material suffix (like carbON, borON, neON, argON, etc.)  Keep in mind that there isn't any standard for trade names, it's probably something that the marketing people came up with that "stuck" for naming Teflon.  (Yes, bad pun)
