Beneficios en costo y ambientales para la empresa Cocereales S.A.

Abstract

"El objetivo principal de esta investigación es determinar cómo la empresa Cocereales S.A. puede obtener beneficios en costos y ambientales a partir de la reutilización de los empaques primarios (*) manejados en sus productos, de igual manera se deja en evidencia la importancia de cerrar de una manera adecuada todo el ciclo de venta, desde la fabricación hasta la disposición final de los desechos generados por los empaques utilizados en sus productos (empaques laminados flexibles), mediante una labor planificada de logística inversa (*). Para desarrollar el presente trabajo se realizó una revisión bibliográfica en la cual se investigaron diferentes términos a nivel ambiental y de costos que permitieron contextualizar la situación de la contaminación ambiental generada como consecuencia de la falta de cultura y la inadecuada disposición final de los empaques utilizados en los productos comercializados en el mercado; una vez efectuada la revisión bibliográfica se implementó un proceso de investigación mixta (*) en la cual se tomó una muestra representativa de consumidores de los productos, con el propósito de conocer que tan dispuestos están a contribuir en la recolección y devolución de los empaques laminados flexibles (*) una vez consumen los productos fabricados por Cocereales S.A., bajo la marca Durena y de esta manera poder determinar como estos esfuerzos se pueden ver representados en beneficios económicos tanto para la empresa como para los clientes y así lograr contribuir a mitigar los efectos negativos para el medio ambiente."

The main objective of this investigation is to determine how the company Cocereales S.A. you can obtain cost and environmental benefits from the reuse of primary packaging (*) handled in your products, in the same way the importance of properly closing the entire sales cycle, from manufacturing to manufacturing final disposal of the waste generated by the packaging used in their products (flexible laminated packaging), through a planned work of reverse logistics (*). To carry out this work, a bibliographic review was carried out in which different terms at environmental and cost levels were investigated that allowed contextualizing the situation of the environmental pollution generated as a result of the lack of culture and the inadequate final disposition of the packaging used in the products marketed in the market; Once the literature review was carried out, a mixed research process (*) was implemented in which a representative sample of consumers of the products was taken, in order to know how willing they are to contribute to the collection and return of the laminated packaging flexible (*) once they consume the products manufactured by Cocereales SA, under the Durena brand and in this way be able to determine how these efforts can be represented in economic benefits for both the company and customers and thus contribute to mitigate the effects Negative for the environment.

______________________________________________ (*) Cocereales S.A: Company that manufactures and markets powdered products (soups, creams, sauce among others) 83 years ago. (*) Primary Packaging: According to (Logistics, 2019) “It is the packaging that has contact with the product” (*) Reverse Logistics: According to (Wassenhove, 2002), "Reverse logistics is part of a trend called the reverse supply chain, where intelligent manufacturers are designing effective processes to reuse their products." (*) Mixed Research: According to (Hernández, Fernández and Baptista, 2003) “they represent the highest degree of integration or combination between qualitative and quantitative approaches” For the development of this project two key factors were involved within the supply chain (*), the supplier of flexible laminate packaging (*) and those foundations that work with recycled inputs and which are part of the foundation to provide a provision appropriate to the packaging discarded by consumers, in this way it is possible to structure a work initially focused on the development of weak sustainability (*) and with the expectation of throwing data that can be used later in the decision-making process for the implementation of initiatives focused on developing strong sustainability (*).
