Waste poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) from thin bottles was blended with acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS) copolymer in different proportions, up to 10 wt %. Styrene maleic anhydride (SMA) copolymer was used as a compatibilizer. The tensile strength and heat deflection temperature of the blend were higher than that of virgin ABS. Flexural modulus remained unaffected, although a slight decrease in impact property was observed. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 80: 2593–2599, 2001
