摘要：The PET bottle (Polyethylene Terephthalate) has several uses today, from the storage of beverages (soft drink, juice, etc.) to decorations in general. The importance of collecting and recycling this material corresponds to the reduction of impacts on the environment, because it takes many years to decomplace, in other words, to implement sustainability in the region. This research aims to analyze the recycled polymer together with the soil-cement brick by percentages of soil replacement, in order to perform physical-chemical tests with the intention of evaluating the possibility of its use in civil construction. Samples were produced for this research, one with pure clay and the other with the addition of a crushed PET bottle. With these experiments it will be possible to verify the feasibility of the inclusion of PET without compromising the mechanical resistance of the ecological brick and in a beneficial way to the environment.
