Abstract

The city of Bogotá D.C experiences continuous growth due to its status as the country's capital and home to different economic activities, ranging from businesses to construction. This growth attracts both local residents looking for job opportunities and people from other regions looking for a better quality of life. However, this population increase also brings with it an increase in environmental pollution, affecting the air, water, soil, fauna and flora. Despite being an almost inevitable challenge, it is crucial to implement preventive, mitigation and control measures for this pollution. Solid waste in the city, as in the entire country, continues to increase at the same rate as population growth. According to data from the Mayor's Office of Bogotá (2022), approximately 7,500 tons of waste are generated daily, of which only 16% is reused. The inadequate management of this waste negatively impacts natural resources and represents a risk to the health of inhabitants. To address these challenges, the "District Development Plan 'A New Social and Environmental Contract for 21st Century Bogotá'" establishes 5 purposes and 30 city achievements aimed at meeting the Sustainable Development Goals for the year 2030. Within these objectives, the District Secretariat of the Environment is committed to the goal of controlling the proper disposal of 32,000,000 tons of Construction and Demolition Waste. In this context, the Subdirectorate of Environmental Control for the Public Sector (SCASP) of the SDA carries out evaluation, control and monitoring activities for the proper disposal and use of Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) generated by industrial, construction, and public and private service activities in Bogotá D.C. The main objective of this monograph is to apply support strategies in the processes associated with the management of CDW, thus contributing to the environmental authority of the Capital District. As a result of this research, both professional and personal growth is expected by applying the knowledge acquired in the classroom and advancing in the FOREST processes related to the monthly reports of the RCD generators.
