In the field of the construction, the trend since few years is to gradually replace of conventional materials by polymer matrix composite materials. It is in this context that this study proposes a technique of making composite materials with a polymer matrix, using plastic waste. During this study of mechanical tests (flexural and compressive strength), will be carried out on the samples in order to check the resistances. To expand the field of use, we added clay as a load to improve the resistances of the composite. The results obtained are satisfactory from the point of view of mechanical strength. It also appears that these resistances improve when clay is added as a load
