AB  - Incorporation of residua into polymeric composites can be a successful approach 
      to creating materials suitable for specific applications promoting a circular 
      economy approach. Elastomeric (Ground Tire Rubber or GTR) and biogenic (chicken 
      feathers or CFs) wastes were used to prepare polymeric composites in order to 
      evaluate the tensile, acoustic and structural differences between both 
      reinforcements. High-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP) and ethylene 
      vinyl acetate (EVA) polymeric matrices were used. EVA matrix defines better 
      compatibility with both reinforcement materials (GTR and CFs) than polyolefin 
      matrices (HDPE and PP) as it has been corroborated by Fourier transform infrared 
      spectroscopy (FTIR), termogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron 
      microscopy (SEM). In addition, composites reinforced with GTR showed better 
      acoustic properties than composites reinforced with CFs, due to the morphology of 
      the reinforcing particles.
