Development of an instruction manual for a manufacturing of a basket for bicycles with recycled materials

Among the types of waste, there are the domestic solid wastes that consist of discarded materials from domestic activities in urban residences. In this connection, recycling is defined as recover materials that would be discarded using them to produce new products. The objective of this research was to prepare aninstructionmanual and a Standardized Operating Procedure (SOP) for product a handmade basket from recycled aseptic carton packaging for bicycles. Firstly, the basket’s material was collected and a prototype was produced. Then, was elaborated the SOP and an instruction manual for manufacturing the basket. Through this research it was possible to elaborate a spreadsheet with the SOP and an eleven-page instruction manual, that together explain in a detailed and didactic way the required procedures for the assembling of the basket, also as the possible corrections that may be necessary if some error occurs in the procedures. Thereby, it was concluded that it is possible to make a basket using solid domestics wastes, in addition, it was also possible to prove the importance of using tools such as SOP and the instruction manual to assist and standardize the processes.
