Abstract

Today, one of the most pressing environmental concerns is the waste generated by the consumption of single-use containers that generally end up in landfills or incinerated. The use of these containers has been boosted worldwide, among other things, by the establishment of consumption habits such as food at home or take away derived from the current epidemiological situation. Therefore, this work aims to introduce this waste as a secondary raw material in processes of obtaining continuous fiber composites giving them a second life of high added value and long life thus avoiding that these wastes become waste again in a short period of time. One of the best known advantages of thermoplastic composites is their ability to be re-molded and integrated. For this reason, the study of its capacity to join by welding thermoplastic on recycled materials is an interesting advance in sectors as important as construction, automotive and transport
