Propuesta de aprovechamiento de residuos sólidos orgánicos producidos por el Colegio CEIS del Municipio de Sopó, mediante la técnica del compostaje

Abstract

The present internship work carried out at the Public Utility Company of Sopó Cundinamarca Emsersopo E.S.P, has as its main objective, to propose a plan for the use of solid organic waste generated by the departmental educational institution CEIS, by composting. In order to initiate the formulation and implementation of targeted activities within the development of environmental education, four phases were implemented; in the first phase, organic waste that is optimal for use and further processing through composting was analysed and segmented, as a second phase a training and awareness-raising process was carried out, initially to staff in charge of running the school restaurant and teachers. Following the confinement caused by the health emergency of Covid-19, these trainings were initially virtual, but once the gradual return to the presence begins, The training and awareness days go beyond and are aimed at students from various educational institutions in the municipality and the Soposeña community. The third phase allowed the identification of the composting technique that best suited the conditions of each educational institution or of each Soposeño household, so with the help of technological tools various advertising cards and videos containing detailed step-by-step information for composting are made, the fourth phase manages to collect all the work done during the internship, and structure it into a proposal that can be replicated and implemented over time. The implementation of the proposal designed in the present study will contribute to solving in the medium and long term the inadequate management and disposal of organic waste, as well as the lack of environmental awareness and/or ignorance of the process of transformation of such organic waste through the composting technique.
