In a context where poorly managed solid waste poses a growing environmental challenge, particularly in the automotive industry, there is a need for mitigation. This study aims to reuse Car Air Filters in an innovative project. The district of Lurin presents silty soil with areas of low bearing capacity, which can compromise the stability of the houses built on it. This research explores an innovative solution: the reuse of Automobile Residual Plastic (polypropylene fibers) to improve the soil for the foundations of multifamily housing in Lurin. Samples with different percentages of Automobile Residual Plastic (0%, 1%, and 5%) were added to the soil to study their mechanical properties. Standard Proctor and Direct Shear tests were conducted. The results showed an improvement in the angle of friction (from 40° to 41.1°) and an increase in cohesion (from 0.07 kg/cm² to 0.15 kg/cm²) when the soil was improved with 5% of Automobile Residual Plastic. However, there was also a decrease in maximum dry density (from 1.739 g/cm³ to 1.432 g/cm³) and an increase in optimum moisture content (from 17.6% to 27.4%). Thus, positive results were observed in this research, along with opportunities for future studies involving different percentages of polypropylene fibers to enhance the mechanical properties of soils.
