Propuesta de modelo de gestión integral de residuos sólidos en la plataforma 1ro de mayo San Roque dentro del marco de economía circular : modelo de gestión de residuos orgánicos.

Abstract

The proposal for an integrated organic waste management model in the 1ro de Mayo-San Roque platform seeks to implement circular economy practices to minimize the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and promote its use and composting. First, a diagnosis was made based on the collection of on-site information and the current organic waste management model. The total generation of solid waste was 496.26 kg/week and the average per capita production was 0.423 kg/day, with a specific weight of 89.08 kg/m3. As results regarding organic waste, the following was obtained: the main generating areas are herbs with 52.06% and the weekly generation was 404.85 kg/week. In addition, it was identified that the platform does not carry out any type of solid waste management. Following the diagnosis, the proposed management model includes separation of organic waste at the source, storage (stockpiling), selective collection, and composting. This compost can be used as a natural soil conditioner that can be used to grow crops. The proposed model seeks to promote the circular economy, generating new employment and entrepreneurship opportunities, as well as reducing gas emissions and contributing to the fight against climate change.
