Aprovechamiento de los residuos generados en la industria maderera de la localidad de Barrios Unidos mediante la Creación de una Empresa Dedicada a la Fabricación de Guitarras

Abstract

Colombia is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, with more than 69 million hectares of natural forests, which are home to 12% of the planet's plant wealth, for the less favored communities, wood represents their main source of income, with precarious and informal methods that translate into uncontrolled deforestation. It is estimated that in Colombia approximately 13,000 trees are cut down every hour and of each common tree used in the lumber industry, only 28% is used as sawn wood, more than 38% remains in residues represented in sawdust, giblets, shavings and clippings. According to information from the FAO, these wastes are considered a cumbersome waste, their elimination and final disposal has been carried out through landfilling, open-air incineration, in crematorium ovens or deposited in dumps and near water sources. which is considered as an environmental problem of great incidence. However, these wood residues can be used for the manufacture of other products, in the case of this project, guitars for children and young beginners on the path of music. Therefore, a pre-feasibility study is presented for the creation and start-up of a company dedicated to the manufacture of different types of guitars for children and amateur people, with the wood waste collected from carpentry, sawmills, cabinetmakers and factories of furniture from the town of Barrios Unidos in the city of Bogotá. The feasibility of the project is verified with the market study, technical study, administrative study, legal, environmental and financial study, which are detailed in this work.
