density can be from 1 10 denier and be made of polypropylene polyethylene nylon or pet this material is employed as shown by block 40 and is shredded into strips of about 11 2 2 in length depending on the material being recycled this step is indicated by the shredding step of block 42 utilizing a commercially available shredding machine at the same time a supply of scrap or waste headliner material is employed as indicated by block 50 and is stretched and separated into strips by pairs of rollers having needle like projections as indicated by the step of block 52 the somewhat similar size and shapes of the thermo formable material and headliner material are mixed and carded in a carding machine and process as indicated by block 45 to form a mat as indicated by block 46 of in the preferred embodiment a mixture of about 50 reground thermo formable material and about 50 of reprocessed headliner material the thermo formable material serves as a binder for the glass fibers of the headliner material and the blend of thermo formable material and headliner material can vary from about 40 60 respectively to about 60 40 respectively the resultant mat of blended material has a thickness of about 3 4 1 34 and a mat area density of about 1800 g m 2 the mat is heated to a temperature of about 420 u00b0 in surface heaters which heat opposite sides of the mat sufficiently to melt and fuse the thermo formable material with glass fibers the heated blend retains the mat like shape and is fed into a compression mold tool at room temperature about 72 u00b0 f which forms the final shape of the panel as indicated by block 54 if the panel.
