Sumario:The objective of this research was to develop prototype panels by reusing post-consumer plastic waste in the Gran Resistencia. Following a systematization of the properties and benefits associated with the use of plastic waste in construction, case studies in architecture and visits to plastic collection and reuse points in the city were carried out. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) was found to be the least used plastic waste in construction, so a method for reusing it was analyzed and developed within the framework of the circular economy. The first prototypes and tests were generated.
