Implementación de la línea de producción de bolsas biodegradables en la empresa UTTEPROVO CÍA. LTDA.

Abstract

In Ecuador, as in the rest of the world, the massive consumer of the sachet, as a packaging alternative, is not only frequent but constant. Plastic bags, and plastic in general have been an integral part of the elements that contribute to contemporary development, however, in the final analysis. Risk and environmental control agencies have determined the plastics of most of the world's biggest contaminants, and this is a reason for the decomposition of plastic. Plastic can take up to 500 years without decomposing. Against these scenarios, methods have been developed to counter contamination, advanced plastic molecular disintegration technologies and biodegradation which induce plastics to accelerate decomposition. At the moment, the manufacture of sachets with biodegradable technology is growing. Ecuador has joined the production initiative; whose main objective is to reduce contamination. This study proposes to the company Utteprovo Cía. Ltda. A manufacturer of plastic products, to join this initiative, through online sales, and through the implementation of the production line of oxo-biodegradable plastic bags.
