In 2017, the INGEMIL research nursery of the Military School of Cadets (ESMIC) proposes a modular physical prototype for the prevention and emergency care attended by the National Army that can provide the energy needed to serve as a collection center for military rescue engineers. This prototype was built with plastic wood, which is a material composed of recycled plastic with wood waste, which offers
advantages in terms of costs, durability, resistance to degradative agents, ease of molding and maintenancefree. As previously stated, plastic wood was characterized physically and mechanically, to promote and approve its use in the prototype built in previous years and begin to implement it in construction materials to observe its behavior. Physical characterization tests such as density and
hardness, and mechanical characterization such as compression and flexion were performed.
