Track: Operations Management

Abstract

Plastic is a material that has a high impact on the environment due to the long amount of time it takes to decompose, contaminating residues involved in this material, and the damage caused to human health that this implies. Currently tons of plastic are discarded day after day, for this reason our research is oriented to the production of a bioplastic capable of supplying the conventional plastic but with the advantage that our bioplastic has a considerable environmental impact since this comes from conventional organic waste which are of daily consumption. In the development of our project, we present the data that validate that self-extinction was improved unlike a commercial plastic, in the present project is also taken into account the productivity part of improvement since through operational excellence, costs are reached in several areas of the project such as savings in the amount of raw material when working with a waste material.
