Abstract

This research project aims to answer the following question: Which is the non-industrialized transformation process and what characteristics must the PET plastic have in order to be reused as a raw material in the production of new building materials?

To answer this, the following hypothesis was taken into account: that it is possible to control the parameters that influence the non-industrialized transformation process of the PET recycled plastic in order to make the physical properties meet the required parameteres of building materials for ceiling and wall coverings. The verification of this hypothesis requires new interdisciplinary approaches that favor the study of physical and operative characteristics of the material in order to verify the feasibility of becoming a building material in the Salvadorian context.
