Palabras clave: Tetra Pak, envases multicapa, materiales de construcción, radiación gamma, propiedades mecánicas

Resumen

En este trabajo de investigación, se estudiaron los efectos de añadir desechos de envases Tetra Pak en la elaboración de materiales utilizados en el área de la construcción. Los resultados demuestran que el uso de los desechos conlleva un carácter multifuncional, ya que no solo mejoran los valores de propiedades mecánicas sin la necesidad de realizar un proceso de reciclamiento o separación de sus componentes, sino que ayudan a reducir la cantidad de desechos arrojados al medio ambiente. Adicionalmente, se estudia el uso de la radiación gamma como metodología para el reciclamiento y modificación de materiales de desecho, entre ellos los envases Tetra Pak. Metodología que ofrecen considerables ventajas sobre los métodos convencionales de reciclamiento, entre estas la no generación de subproductos y/o residuos no deseados.
