Modernization of the Supply Chain in the PET Recycle Manual

Summary/Abstract: The company Poliplasts, S.A. de C.V. (hereinafter Poliplasts) requires the design and implementation of a new supply chain for the manual recycling of PET in the State of Tabasco, México. The research presents the diagnosis of the current supply chain of the recycler company, based on the in situ observation of the actors involved in the recovery of urban solid waste. Poliplasts’s main problem is the collection of highly contaminated waste. The objective of the research was to identify strategies forthe design and implementation of a new supply chain that allows the collection of PET(Polyethylene Terephthalate) from the time of its disposal. The methodology was basedon action-research method, direct interview and direct observation were used [Balcazar2003]. Poliplasts was founded by Mr. Waldo Carrasco Hurtado in 1997. It is a family business belonging to the industrial sector, dedicated mainly to the manufacture andsale of polyethylene products. Approximately 65% of the total raw materials used in its production processes, come from recycling. The challenge for Poliplasts is to collect less contaminated PET and implement a new supply chain.
