This paper is about a research carried out in CEVE on constructive elements made of recycled plastics materials. The research had a series of objectives which were reached as followed: The technological objective was to develop light constructive components with a good thermal insulation, and mechanical resistance to be used in housing side closing function. The ecological one was to collaborate in environmental decontamination. The economical was to lower costs of social housing construction creating cheaper housing construction materials. The social one was to provide self – constructors with the know how to make construction materials. The fi eld objective to develop a constructive technology easier to use by women due to the lightness of the material Recycled plastics materials Aare used as raw material, promoting the rational use of the available resources instead of end as Atrash buried or burnt in garbage dumps, using non contaminating elaboration procedures; therefore it is a sustainable technology.
