Covid-19 is a virus that has brought, in addition to health problems and number of deaths, an impact on human coexistence. Social distancing and protection measures were emergency solutions that generated environmental problems. An accelerated increase in the use of 3D printing in the pandemic was noticed, increasing the amount of solid residues from its disposal, such as lactic polyacid (PLA) polymers. Solid waste causes damage to the environment, and the proposal of this article is to analyze the mechanical resistance of PLA when submitted to recycling by heating and its possible applications in view of the needs of this new social scenario.
