The accelerated population growth in contemporary society brings more and more production of goods and, consequently, disposal. Polymers are inexpensive materials, and, therefore, extremely used daily, but, many times, their disposal is not done correctly, causing damage to the environment. The designer, as a generator of ideas and new products, participates in all stages of designing an artifact, from generation to the final destination of the life cycle. This article aims to present a possibility of recycling polymeric waste for domestic disposal in the production of contemporary jewelry pieces. The project presents a brief literary review on jewelry and polymers, the collection of this material and recycling tests. As a result, a polymer recycling technique was obtained for contemporary jewelry, in the development of a pendant.
