The topic of Urban Solid Waste (USW) has become increasingly controversial in our times due to the high volumes being produced and not disposed properly; one effective way to reduce the generation of USW is finding new ways to recycling. This study proposes a means of recycling Tetra Brik~? (TBr) cartons and high density polyethylene recycled containers (HDPEr), by generating an agglomerate with optimal mechanical properties in comparison with other TBr-based agglomerates. For the analysis of this material's mechanical properties, two types of evaluation tests are carried out; flexure and screw pull-out test. Results show significant mechanical advantages over other TBr-based laminates by the integration of an HDPEr matrix to the system, thereby improving mechanical properties.
