Inventario de los residuos sólidos generados en las empresas antioqueñas pertenecientes a los principales sectores económicos del departamento

This article shows the results of a research on the production of solid waste generated by companies based in Antioquia. This Research was conducted by the University of San Buenaventura, University of Medellin and the University of Antioquia in the program called Antioquia Expedition 2013. For this purpose, we evaluated the production of waste generated by companies in economic activities such as agriculture, cattle ranching, hunting and forestry, mining and quarry exploitation, manufacturing and construction. The purpose of the study was to determine the type, quantity and environmental impact of the waste generated in Antioquia in the selected sectors, constituting itself into a basis for further investigations aimed in determining the potential use of waste for creating new products. The territory analyzed corresponds to 80.8% of the area belonging to the department of Antioquia, subregions, Bajo Cauca, North-east, North, East, South west, Urabá and Valle de Aburrá, where are concentrated the most significant industrial, mining and farming areas of the department, besides being highly populated subregions with growth in infrastructure, represented in a stronger construction sector. The methodology used was the development of databases of companies belonging to the selected sectors to subsequently get information on solid waste generation through surveys conducted by means of a web application, face-to-face or by telephone.
