Life After the Bin: Used clothing between gift, commodity, raw material and waste
Sedláčková, Markéta ; Abu Ghosh, Yasar (advisor) ; Zandlová, Markéta (referee)
This thesis explores different lives of used clothing donated into charity clothing bins. Multi-sited ethnographic research makes visible the diverse lives of the collected material that vary substantially depending on the type of organization and the scale of their work, ranging from small non-profit organizations to large-scale recycling companies. The key practice is sorting which separates heterogeneous materiality into specific categories and transforms discards into gifts, commodities, materials for recycling or waste. However, these categories are far from being fixed or clear-cut, rather the value of the collected postconsumer material is continually being negotiated and is shifting dependent on the context. Key words: second hand clothing, waste, materiality, bin, recycling, value, sorting, gift, commodity
Zhodnocení současného stavu rozvoje elektromobility osobních vozidel
Tesař, Marek
The present bachelor thesis focuses on electric vehicles, which are increasingly used as a mode of ground transportation. In the first part of the thesis, the data on the growth of the number of registrations of electric vehicles in the Czech Republic, Europe and the world is pointed out. Furthermore, issues about the used method of propulsion, charging method, battery production are presented and expert research in the field of recycling is followed. The contribution of this work is a comprehensive overview of electromobility today, which is still in its early stages and its biggest weakness is batteries. Elec-tricity from renewable sources is also needed for a sustainable model.

Obůrková, Pavla
The diploma thesis deals with the innovation of recycled plastic. With increasing production and consumption of plastics, awareness of their recycling also increases, which is causing discussion in the society. The aim of this thesis is to design and ma-nufacture an interior product using recycled plastic. The theoretical part is devoted to issues related to plastics, recycling technology, sustainability and the circular econo-my. It also illustrates the use of plastic and sustainable materials in product design. The thesis includes individual tests on selected types of recycled plastic focused on surface resistance. The project part deals with the comprehensive solution of a piece of furniture from development, across materials and procedures used, to the production itself.
Návrh nábytkového prvku inspirovaného 60. lety
Vernerová, Aneta
The 1960s brought inspirational furniture design, shaped mainly by the Brussels style. The experiments with new materials and the subsequent expansion of plastics materials led to the current ecological crisis over the decades. Recycling has thus become a direct consequence of this decade. The author's design of the dining set responds to this context, examining and attempting to apply the current possibilities of recycled plastics. The design has been developed including 3D visualisations and technical drawings.
Úroveň cirkularity podniků v Irsku a Česku
Stříbrná, Veronika
This diploma thesis deals with the circular economy and its implementation in Ireland and the Czech Republic. The theoretical part describes the starting points from which the concept of the environment and its benefits for life and sustainable development are based. At the same time, the differences compared to the linear model of the economy are presented here. The work also describes the new strategies and programs of Ireland and the Czech Republic, which help the countries in implementing the circular economy. The analytical part of the work is devoted to the analysis of the development of the circular economy in the Czech Republic and Ireland. First, general indicators for the development of circularity are included in the analysis, then those focused on the level of enterprises are selected. The main goal of the work was to present the circular economy and evaluate its development in both countries and their companies.
Recycling of solar photovoltaic panels
Šperlich, Antonín
Long-term trends show an increasing installed capacity of solar photovoltaic power plants. However, this is also associated with a large production of discarded panels. It is estimated that by 2050 there will be between 60 and 80 million tonnes of waste panels worldwide. Such large amounts of waste can be an \ninteresting source of valuable materials, but also need to be recycled for environmental reasons. The aim of this paper is to describe the possibilities of recycling panels and using them to build a real recycling line.

Vesicular roles of Arp2/3 nucleation-promoting factors
Dostál, Vojtěch ; Libusová, Lenka (advisor) ; Malínský, Jan (referee) ; Befekadu, Asfaw (referee)
F-actin is involved in key aspects of vesicular traffic, such as membrane deformation, tubulation and vesicle motion. Branching of F-actin is mediated by Arp2/3 but this complex must first be activated by so-called nucleation-promoting factors (NPFs). These factors play an essential role in the decision where and when branched actin should form on the membrane surface. The thesis focuses on the mechanisms which underlie localization and activation of NPFs, especially in terms of the phosphoinositide composition of the vesicle membranes. I show that one of the NPFs, the WASH complex, does not exclusively depend on the retromer complex for its membrane anchoring, as previously theorized. Rather, its understudied subunit SWIP enables the complex to independently bind to the membrane. I also present data showing that the WASH complex has essential roles in maintaining lysosomal function. Additionally, I elucidate the function of another NPF known as WHAMM in the ERGIC compartment, showing that it depends on the presence of myotubularin 9 for its ability to form membrane tubules. The thesis improves our understanding of the interface between the actin cytoskeleton and intracellular membrane system.
Citizens' attitude to the sorted waste
BABÍNKOVÁ, Klára
This Thesis is focused on problematics of waste sorting and its importance for the society. It analyzes waste management, legislative norms, motivation and ecological questions of waste sorting. Quantitative survey, that maps attitudes of respondents, is a part of this Thesis. The results shows increasing awareness of the public towards the importance. I suggest also the areas for improvement of the perception and responsibility regarding the waste sorting. Sorting the waste brings economical, ecological and social benefits and is crucial for sustainable growth.
Using projects with environmental themes in pre-school education
PRACHAŘOVÁ, Markéta
The bachleor thesis is focused on an environmentally friendly way of life in connection with waste. The aim of the work is to create and apply educational activities that tend to elementary awareness of this topic by childern of preschool age. The theoretical part of thesis is devoted to the definition of terms related to the damage and protection of environment, sustainable development and environmental education of childern. There are also mentioned curricular documents related to environmental education and projects focused on the issue of waste, which can be used by kindergartens. In the practical part are introduced teaching activities implemented in accordance with the tematic plan. Main target of this plane is to create awareness about the possibilities how to protect nature from the increased amount of waste and lead childern to a gentle approach to the nature. The activities are divided into two blocks. The first block is focused on sorted waste, recykling and upcykling. The second block is concentrated on the use of biowaste and composting in the kindergarten. All activities are adapted to the age of childern. Each of the listed activity includes a detailed description, own implementation and reflection.
Waste management infrastructure in the context of European legislation
Arlet, David ; Putna, Ondřej (referee) ; Pluskal, Jaroslav (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis aims to evaluate the contribution of waste management infrastructure and technologies that will play a part in the transition to circular economy. The introduction consists of the concept of circular economy and the European legislation on waste management. Furthermore it presents the waste management plan of the Czech Republic together with the methodology for reporting partial results and comparison of critical results with selected EU countries. The core of the thesis is an overview of the current processing infrastructure and potentially interesting new technologies that could help in the transition to a circular economy and thus achieve the ambitious objectives of the European Union. The outputs of the thesis can help to guide the future development of the waste management sector and thus provide a comprehensive insight into waste treatment issues, the objectives of which are mainly driven by European legislation in the context of set environmental milestones.
