The dissertation presents the Recycled Plastic Sheets (Pla.Ca) made from post-consumer polypropylene packaging. Although the Pla.Ca are produced from sustainable logic, transforming discarded single-use materials into new possibilities for durable products, there is still a lack of information regarding characteristics that help their application in new projects. Added to this, there are some barriers to adopt recycled materials, such as their technical and aesthetic characteristics and consumer interest. In this sense, the present research sought two main objectives: (1) the delimitation of a framework of technical and design characteristics and, from them, (2) generate alternatives product projects for Recycled Sheet. For this, analyzes of the material were carried out from the scientific method and techniques of Industrial Design. Thus, a review of plastic materials in society and the context of the production of Recycled Sheets is presented, in addition to mechanical tests of bending, impact, workability techniques; and aesthetic features, developed from surface design and qualitative interviews. The characterization carried out generated the first information regarding the Recycled Sheets, presenting the possibility of replacing wood materials, such as plywood and agglomerate, based on their mechanical and working characteristics. It was also possible to develop the first aesthetic color standards, facilitating the application of the material in new projects. From this, it was possible to carry out different possibilities of products for different markets, such as utilitarian objects, decoration objects, and furniture, presented at the end of the work.
