Creación de programa institucional de gestión integral de residuos de aparatos eléctricos y electrónicos

Abstract

Consumption after consumption of electrical and electronic devices leaves the world full of waste that nobody takes care of since segregating and managing technological waste is not the most accomplished; According to estimates from the United Nations (UN), 130,000 tons of electrical and electronic equipment waste or e-waste are produced in Colombia (Monterrosa, 2018), since the social objective is to consume a new product and discard the obsolete one because it is the old version, it broke down, stopped working or because it is no longer compatible with your preferred accessory; This leaves tons of waste in landfills, in the world's large dumps, in the soil, rivers, and seas, contaminating these spaces and the surrounding biota. Triggering the entire incorrect management process until obtaining the starting point and getting to work from the sources of waste production solves the environmental damage generated for years since the rise of Electrical and Electronic Equipment products, for this an entity was contacted that is in charge of educating the population of the Colombian capital, the Politécnico Internacional and creating there the first link in management processes for the management of electrical and electronic equipment waste that allows the entity to be organized in such a way that no technological waste is desired inappropriately. This final report exposes the findings found when carrying out the "Integral Management Program for Electrical and Electronic Equipment Waste" for the preparation of it, all previously structured data must be investigated and new data created based on what is evident from the visit the training spaces of the institution; showing a concise document in which all the information collected was enshrined and a management process capable of taking a step by step was elaborated based on it, to be executed by those involved within the institution who must understand and socialize said document to disseminate the information and avoid environmental impacts that could arise due to the incorrect handling of waste electrical and electronic equipment.
