abstract The article presents the issues of recycling materials made of plastics and composite materials based on a plastic product. The way of preparing samples made of polyester resin being the matrix with cotton, jute and glass fibre reinforcement was described. Moreover, the results of combustibility property tests of the prepared composite materials were shown. The studies were carried out according to the UL 94 standard, used by American Underwriters Laboratories. The results of the tests were presented in the form of final conclusions.
