Abstract
In this paper, nylon waste from PET and HDPE were used after its’ cutting in different forms (fibers and particles) and then mixed with polyester. The mechanical properties (tensile and compression) were studied. It is found that when adding the nylon waste to polyester, the stress that the material can bear is reduced. In contrast the strain increased in most tests, and thus can be used in many applications and on the other hand is considered it an important way for waste disposal a safety way and harmless to the environment and useful at the same time.
