Title of diploma thesis: Hazardous substances that are released from plastic bottles This master thesis focuses on hazardous substances that are released from plastic bottles. Attention is paid especially to bisphenol A and antimony and their effects after oral administration. Given the fact that these substances are harmful to humans, most of the information about their effects was observed in epidemiological studies or studies conducted on laboratory animals and human tissues. The thesis documents the toxicological effects on the body, especially of bisphenol A. To a lesser extent and primarily because of the limited number of studies on this topic, it deals with the influence of antimony. This is a search thesis and the data are the sum of bibliographic records on the subject.

A new wall construction technique utilizing concrete filled PVC tubes, adobe, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic bottles and cabling was designed, analyzed and implemented. The system was designed as an alternative to traditional earthen buildings in Honduras that are vulnerable to hurricane winds and seismic activity. Six prototype panels were constructed at the Alternative Village located at the University of Manitoba to evaluate the wall system for racking and transverse load capacity. A kitchen was then constructed at an elementary school in western Honduras. / October 2015

Este trabajo contribuye a la organización estudiada a mejorar los procedimientos del proceso de laminación (compuestas por BOPP y PEBD) para así reducir las mermas y los productos defectuosos, estas representan un 15% de desperdicios del total de materia prima que ingresa al proceso, sin embargo, con la aplicación de las metodologías se logró reducir a un 6.2% de desperdicios, resultando en ahorros operacionales en el rango de s/. 46,580 al año. La utilización de las fases DMAIC y Lean, cada uno a su manera, son las principales técnicas estratégicas de resolución de problemas en el mundo industrial. La integración de los dos métodos de calidad traerá la herramienta necesaria para eliminar las mermas y mejorar la productividad a través del comportamiento de los trabajadores, el trabajo en equipo y optimizando los procesos. Los gerentes e ingenieros encargados de mejorar las operaciones y los procesos pueden beneficiarse de este documento, ya que puede servir de guía para dirigir la realización de futuros proyectos y la aplicación empírica de sus principios y herramientas. / This work contributes to help the organization studied to improve procedures for the lamination process (compound of BOPP and LDPE) to reduce waste and defective products, represent 15% of waste of all raw material entering To the process, however, with the application of the methodologies was reduced to a 6.2% of waste, resulting in operational savings in the range of s /. 46,580 per year. The use of the DMAIC and Lean phases, each in its own way, are the main strategic techniques for solving problems in the industrial world. The integration of the two quality methods will bring the necessary tool to eliminate the losses and improve the productivity through the behavior of the workers, the team work and optimizing the processes. Managers and engineers in charge of improving operations and processes can benefit from this document as it can guide future projects and the empirical application of their principles and tools. / Trabajo de Suficiencia Profesional
