Abstract
Currently the concept of reducing, reusing and recycling wastes that have been discarded, giving them a new purpose is not only an option but a necessity. Each year the amount of waste generated increases, and with this there is a need to allocate them correctly. The use of waste in construction is already a reality, as well as in the manufacture of rustic furniture, among others. Removing it from discard and giving it a use for what was previously considered waste is of great value in many areas, as it reduces environmental impact, generates added value, jobs, profits and increases in the economy. In this context, the objective of the work was to make and characterize the mechanical properties of a PET and fiberglass composite with polyester resin. Traction tests showed that the mechanical strength of the composite was lower compared to the pure thermoplastic polymer, which is due to the presence of discontinuities in the composite caused by the artisanal confection process.
