The use of formwork in construction is very time consuming and can account for between 20 and 25% of the total cost of the project. The traditional materials for the elaboration of formworks are wood and metal, which generates that the formworks are heavy and demand great physical effort for their implementation. This article analyzes the feasibility of using type 2 recycled plastic as raw material for the production of formwork. To determine if the material can withstand the loads and stresses to which the formworks are subjected, an analysis is carried out using the SAP 2000 software. The results indicate that the formwork made from type 2 plastic supports the loads and stresses that the casting of the concrete transmits it, which makes it a viable alternative both at an environmental, technical and economic level.
