In Brazil, especially in Northeastern region, the wood used in civil construction, is almost all from Amazonian forest. The reduction of its consumption will be an environmental benefit. The utilization of waste plastics that are randomly thrown everywhere, would also be beneficial to the environment. In this work, we tried to verify the technical viability of a product made from waste plastic as frechal for housing, replacing the wooden parts commonly used for such. A literature review on single-family construction, plastic material and new product development was initially made. Material properties such as density, compressive strength, flexural strength, resistance to concentrated loads were studied. The results showed that the tested product, although flexible, it applies well in frechal function because there it works continuously against the wall top.
