Propuesta de modelo de gestión integral de residuos sólidos en la Plataforma Central 1ro de Mayo-San Roque dentro del marco de economía circular.

Abstract

This study was conducted in "LA PLATAFORMA CENTRAL 1RO DE MAYO-SAN ROQUE", where it shows a situation of environmental contamination, due to poor waste management generated by the different commercial actions carried out in this place. In this way, it is important to develop participatory management models at the level of all the actors involved in the management, generation, and final disposal of solid waste, always seeking to emphasize the circular economy. The characterization of solid waste is part of a procedure that includes multiple considerations, such as: technical visits, surveys, interviews, determination of Per Capita Production (PPC), waste characterization and specific weight. Subsequently, the information obtained was used to develop the inorganic solid waste management model and to work with the sectors identified as the main generators, which will be incorporated into this management model. Among the main results obtained during the study is the PPC of waste with an average of 0.423 kg/post*day, and with a total generation of 496.26 kg/week with a specific weight of 89.08 kg/m3 (mixed and loose waste). Inorganic waste represents 19.3% of the total, of which the main by-products are clothing and textiles with 6.6%, paper and cardboard with 3.1% and PET with 0.3%. Based on the results, it was determined that the main sources of inorganic waste are the prepared foods and merchandise areas. These areas were considered for the design of the proposed management model emphasizing the circular economy. In a consensual manner with the platform's vendors, it was found that they are willing to participate in the implementation of this model.
