Exploración de alternativas de aprovechamiento para una gestión integral de residuos de muebles de madera en Bogotá

Abstract

Pollution from solid waste is a growing problem worldwide. Some types of waste are neglected due to their difficult management or the impossibility of giving them a specific treatment or use, becoming sources of environmental pollution and social problems, such as waste from all types of furniture, which has historically been relegated from the regulations associated with waste management and has become a challenge for environmental management in cities such as Bogotá. This project explores the existing alternatives for the use of waste from the production and use of wooden furniture that can be implemented for better management of this type of waste in the city. Information was collected regarding advances in science, technology and management of furniture waste at a global level and an approach was made with the community through surveys of members of the productive sector and consumers to understand the context of the activity and identify motivations and consumption preferences from an environmental perspective.
