Formulación de estrategias de manejo ambiental para el aprovechamiento financiero de residuos sólidos mediante la modelación de su generación en la unidad residencial el gualí

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to formulate environmental management strategies for the financial utilization of solid waste generated in the Gualí residential area in Bogotá. This work sought to develop a systems dynamics model in Vensim software, integrating different variables related to waste generation, including population, recycling and utilization rates, economic profit, technology effectiveness, and CO2 emissions. The results obtained showed four possible scenarios where a system with different utilization levels, final waste, and the use of environmental technologies that allow for solid waste reduction could be identified and analyzed. Through this model, environmental projects focused on financially sustainable decision-making can be implemented, which also allow for reducing impacts and generating positive impacts on the urban residential environment through the implementation of sustainable technologies, supported by planning and modeling processes, demonstrating an improvement in the efficiency of waste management in cities.
