The construction industry is a highly polluting sector due to both the processes that are carried out in it and the waste or waste that is generated. Likewise, this is considered traditionalist because of the application of quite a few procedures and methodologies that do not change over time and that generally generate the most pollutants. This, in turn, has not allowed manufacturing costs to decrease or manufacturing times to be more optimal or for structures to be more resistant to the stresses they are subjected to. For that reason, in this research work the use of PET plastic has been proposed for the preparation of 1 stackable masonry unit. Firstly, 1:1 and 1:2 dosages (Cement and Sand) were executed with different percentages of PET plastic in bricks with physical characteristics similar to the units commonly used in Arequipa. These were analyzed experimentally in a laboratory in Arequipa through the tests of resistance to compression, dimensional variation, warping and water absorption. Subsequently, with the most optimal dosage and the selected modular masonry unit, the same tests were made for analysis and, also, a wall of approximately 1x1m square. Finally, the analysis of the environmental impact generated by reusing the PET disposable plastic in concrete blocks and the properties granted by it was performed and comparisons were developed in mechanical and physical properties, weight and cost, showing that the proposed modular masonry unit is, in many cases, more optimal.
