Abstract
OBANDO, JORGE MARIO and ESCOBAR, MANUELA. MODELING THE PARTIAL RECOVERY PROCESS OF TETRA PAK PACKAGES. Rev.EIA.Esc.Ing.Antioq [online]. 2009, n.11, pp.157-167. ISSN 1794-1237.
In this paper we study the consumption pattern, expectations and satisfaction of the population of Medellin with Tetra Pak packages, the treatment given to them now when they are discarded and the conduct to be followed, knowing that the Tetra Pak is recyclable, then the process to recover partially debris from Tetra Pak is modeled and marketed as intermediate goods, eligible to be reinstated within various production processes. Several operating policies through a discrete event simulation built in Extend are studied.
Keywords : Tetra Pak packaging; recycling; discrete event simulation; state variables; decision variables; system parameters; performance criteria.
