During the 2019/2020 academic year, project-based learning has been introduced in the development of a laboratory practice of the Eco-efficient Materials subject, given in the second year of the University Master's Degree in Engineering, Processing and Characterization of Materials to obtain recycled paper. The practice was carried out during 3 sessions in groups of 3 students. Prior to the practice, the teacher made a guide on how to recycle paper and the students looked for information to help themself to determine whether if they would add some fillers or another additives in order to optimize the product obtained. Therefore, they were who decided on what the composition of the recycled paper would be. The objective of doing the practice in this way was to observe the students abilities for information search, decision making and the development of the final product and its characterization. An improvement was observed in the students' abilities to handle the laboratory characterization equipments, and more confidence in making decisions.
