**Abstract**
 This study confirms that glass fibres can be recovered from phenolic prepreg scrap and reused as reinforcing filler in polypropylene and nylon-6. The untreated glass fibres showed good compatibility with nylon-6, but poor compatibility with PP. Surface treatment of the recovered glass fibres using gamma-aminopropyltriethoxysilane was shown to improve this in both cases and to significantly increase the composite tensile strengths. 29 refs.
