Deposit refund system as a key tool for circular economy
Patka, Vojtěch ; Kropáč, Jiří (referee) ; Gregor, Jiří (advisor)
This bachelor´s thesis deals with the issue of PET packaging, more precisely PET beverage bottles, and with a possible solution to this issue using Deposit Refund System, reffered to as „DRS“. When comparing the current situation of PET beverage bottle management with the set targets and legislation of the EU and the Czech Republic, it can be concluded that it is necessary to adjust the approach to this part of waste management. The modern approach is the approach of so called circular economy, which considers waste as a potential source of material for re-production. DRS is a tool of circular economy which indicates high collection rate of PET beverage bottles in EU, i.e. the proportion of bottles returned and bottles placed on the market. However, DRS is only part of the overall PET beverage bottle management system which requires an efficient processing chain to function properly. The chain is described in detail from returning the used bottle to the production of a new one. A significant benefit in this chapter is the information obtained in interviews with experts from practice and during visits to production lines for PET preforms and PET bottles. The thesis is concluded with a SWOT analysis of DRS in the Czech Republic where the deposit system is likely to be introduced at the beginning of 2026 and its introduction is currently being widely discussed.

Design of a new production line
Hejl, Martin ; Jurová, Marie (referee) ; Juřica, Pavel (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the project of implementing a production line in a selected company dealing with the recycling of plastic waste and the production of rPET flakes as a secondary raw material for the production of plastic products. First, it deals with the description of the current state and the production process in the company, including the layout of the equipment, and then defines the requirements for the project by the management of the company and individual shareholders of the company. Defining the requirements for the project and at the same time the method of obtaining key information took place on the basis of in-depth interviews with the interested parties of this project, while a pilot design of the layout of the machinery was created, including a description of the technology and a flowchart of the required production process. The main content of the design part is the creation of a proposal for a possible implementation of the production line using a network diagram using the PERT method, which indicates that the duration of the project was calculated to be 106.6 days. Together with the network diagram of the project, an analysis and proposals for managing the risks of this project were prepared. At the end of the draft chapter, a financial analysis of the project's payback period was carried out, as the condition of a payback period of 3-5 years must be met in order for the project to be approved by the shareholders, which this project fulfilled in all three expected progress scenarios.

The use of logistics in a manufacturing company
BODLÁKOVÁ, Alena
The graduation thesis deals with the use of logistics in the brewery Pivovar Protivín a. s. The paper presents a view of the current situation of Czech breweries in the Czech Republic as well as in the world. It maps the trends of recent years in the brewing industry and shows how Czech breweries have faced up the economic crisis. The results of Pivovar Protivín are presented and compared with the results of Svijany brewery. The distribution of Protivín brewery products is analyzed. Based on the analysis, the time frame of beer delivery to customers is made. Further on, the questions of the packaging management in Protivín brewery are dealt with. Breweries are specific for complex and expensive reverse logistics of returnable packaging. The question whether producing beer in PET bottles would be appropriate for Protivín brewery is studied. Determining the level of services provided for brewery customers is examined. According to the results presented here, the greatest demands on services provided by breweries appeared to be those by the customers in gastronomy sphere. Based on the questionnaire investigation, the standards in providing brewing services were set together. Finally, I suggested possible improvements that should lead to cost savings, greater flexibility of operations and competitive advantages for the Protivín brewery as well as for the whole K Brewery Group.
