Abstract: The consumption of plastic materials is now 20-times greater than 50 years ago. In the car industry plastic components are increasingly used to replace metal. Recycling of plastic materials from end-of-life vehicles (ELV) is still an unsolved problem. The most delicately problem in materials recycling from ELV is the sterile recovering, which in present is sent at the municipal waste, causing environmental problems. Some experimental results for recovering plastic materials from bumpers are presented in this paper. Different samples obtained from bumpers were analyzed and mechanical characterized for the identification of polymers and their level of mechanical strength and thermal stability. The recovered materials from ELV bumpers presented a still high level of mechanical strength and a still good thermal stability. New materials with interesting properties were obtained by compounding these samples with wood flower and virgin polymers.
