The increasing generation of waste inherent in the maintenance of modern life leads to the search for sustainable alternatives that mitiguate its environmental impacts. Coming to meet this ecological appeal, composites produced with reuse material were developed in this work. Polymeric plates were made in different mass proportions in a prototype reactor by mixing PET, glycerin and amphegolasty, a mining residue. With the materials developed, its mechanical strengths were tested in order to define the best proportion of polymer matrix and the reinforcement that allows to be used as wood in the construction sector.
