Vinyl tarp is a low-budget material with good print quality, being widely used for making banners for
advertising campaigns and academic events. In both applications, it quickly turns into waste. In this
context, a research project was designed with the objective of studying the feasibility of reusing tarp
banners in the furniture production. The project was developed with students of the Technical Course
in Furniture of the Federal Institute Farroupilha (IFFar), Santa Rosa Campus. In the first stage, tests on
cutting, joining, finishing and deforming were performed. The cutting of the material was considered
feasible. The bonding with adhesives was unsatisfactory, with best results with mechanical bonding
with metallic clips. Regarding the finish, paints were not able to cover homogeneously the surface. As
for the resistance, the vinyl tarp underwent plastic deformation with the application of localized load.
With restrictions, use of the material for production of furniture was considered viable. In the second
stage, the design and prototype of column luminaires, coffee tables, folding benches and stackable
niches were developed. The design of products prioritized the reuse and rational use of raw materials, a
simplified production process and a contemporary aesthetic, consistent with the precepts of Ecodesign
and economic viability.
