Resumen
Abstract
The environmental problem related to urban solid waste generation and management requires alternatives
that enable communities to have appropriate collection, transport and disposal methods for urban solid waste.
Likewise, it is necessary to develop alternative uses as many of the materials generated can be reused or
recycled. Plastic waste is among the types of waste most generated by communities, making up
approximately 11 % of waste in middle income countries, some of which possess high commercial value and
is easy to recover and recycle, while others are more complicated due to their volume-to-weight ratio. This is
the case of expanded polystyrene, which has a low commercial value and few reuse alternatives, making it an
unattractive type of waste for the recycling chain, and as a result, while being 100 % recyclable, it still ends up
in municipal landfills. In order to facilitate the use of this waste, this paper presents a stress-strain curve
analysis for the mixture of expanded polystyrene (EPS) and polypropylene (PP), both recovered wastes, for
the purpose of contributing to the physical-mechanical characterization of this mixture to develop future
research projects to reincorporate this material in the recycling chain.
