Gestión de residuos y biomasa: avances en la economia circular

Abstract

The economy moves actively thanks to the purchasing power of the market for the different goods and services that can be offered to potential customers; that is, a focused group of people whose object is to meet their needs. In a process in which the exploitation of natural resources is carried out, giving way to the manufacture of tangible products, which to reach the consumer require a series of commercial stages and the product completes its cycle from being considered a good to a waste . This process results in a linear movement of manufacture-production and consumption of the good in question, this is known as linear economy. The industry has increased its interest in the appropriation and materialization of the concept of clean production, a concept that is related to sustainable development and eco-efficiency. Clean production consists of continuous improvement, quality control, and process reengineering. For which a review of the operations of the processes that are part of a productive activity or services is required, with a view to finding the various possibilities for improvement or optimization in the use of resources. The circular economy creates a new vision of the industry, because it aims to integrate economy, society and the environment as a sustainable concept, its main objective is to give added value to discarded products, seeking to minimize the generation of waste , in such a way that its life cycle is closed.
