AB Packaging sector generates 40% of the plastics consumption in Europe. Among the most consumed plastics,polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is still the material that undoubtedly continues to grow in the packaging sector.Hence, there is a concern related to the recycling process, which today is only around 56%. Therefore, theobjective of this work focuses on the use of this recycled material as a source of raw material for pultrusionprocesses. This work studies and compares the processability of final composite pultruded parts by using threedifferent pre-impregnated recycled materials different in their viscosity and stream. Those composites werecharacterized by mechanical testing and microscopy analysis. The obtained results were compared with those ofanother pultruded thermoplastic (polypropylene) composite. From this study, it was possible to transform awaste into a product with high added value, reducing the carbon footprint.
