    Análisis de los beneficios ambientales, sociales y económicos resultantes de la formulación de un plan de gestión y aprovechamiento de residuos sólidos de la empresa Agrojar S.A.S.
    (2022) Carvajal Gil, María Luisa; Serna Cardozo, Evelyn Andrea; Celis Rivera, Paola Andrea
    Se realizó un estudio cuyo propósito fue analizar los impactos ambientales, sociales y económicos que se obtienen a partir de la implementación de un plan de gestión y aprovechamiento de los residuos sólidos en base a los diferentes procesos productivos que realiza la empresa Agrojar S.A.S. en las fincas de Gibraltar y la Guaca en el municipio de Jardín, donde se llevó a cabo una identificación, cualificación y cuantificación de los tipos de residuos que se generan allí, así mismo se plantean programas como la minimización y educación ambiental, además de proponer a la empresa desarrollar el fertilizante orgánico para uso comercial y comunitario. Se evidencia en los resultados que el aprovechamiento y valorización de residuos generados en una cadena de producción trae beneficios para empresa y su área de influencia, así mismo se encuentra que en las fincas de estudio cuando están en época de cosecha la cantidad de generación de residuos es mayor y se da un mal manejo por el hecho de contratar personal externo, mientras que en época de no cosecha solo se encuentran personal de planta ya capacitado en los aspectos del tema de manejo de residuos ayudando a que el impacto sea menor. Además, se pudo ver que no hay un aprovechamiento de los residuos orgánicos perdiendo la utilidad de estos. Por lo tanto, se concluye que la implementación de un plan de gestión integral de los residuos sólidos en una empresa es importante para demostrar su buena gestión respecto al tema de residuos.

    Desarrollo de autopartes aplicando conceptos de economía circular para la industria automotriz en la ciudad de Medellín
    (2019) Gutiérrez Ramírez, Felipe; Marroquín Sierra, Carolina; Herreño Téllez, Elisabeth
    Currently one of the most important and contributing industries for the country is the automotive and auto parts industry, particularly the growth of this sector in relation to motorcycles, according to ANDI (2018) as of March 2018, 125,794 motorcycles were registered, of which 95 % is CKD (Completely Knock Down) material assembled in Colombia, the remaining 5% are CBU (Completely Built Up) motorcycles; This industry has a great responsibility that is not dealt with in a decisive way, which is the environmental issue related to the excessive disposal of solid waste resulting from productive activities. Given this panorama, it is appropriate to propose solutions that address comprehensive models of environmental impact reduction such as the circular economy, accompanied by initiatives related to the development of products for the mitigation of the carbon footprint that they leave at the end of their life cycle. This implies integrating in an objective way the development of new products designed as systems that are formally and functionally consistent for each motorcycle to which it is designed, without neglecting that they are redesigned so that their useful life is much longer. The project is based on the experiences observed in a local company responsible for the design and production of motorcycle accessories from national integration (Percentage of locally manufactured parts that go on a motorcycle assembled in Colombia). The project involves the category of motorcycle accessories scotters (Agility 3.0 and GO) such as windbreakers, sliders and side shields. Regarding the selected material, it is evident that (i) the elastomeric material (rubber) wasted in the production cycles is presented in considerable quantities in these industries and (ii) the benefits obtained from the properties of the material are compatible with the functional needs of the current auto parts accessories, needs found since the investigation, where it is observed that many of these accessories have a limited cycle and with the use of this reintegrated material, it is intended to prolong the useful life much longer. In addition to reintroducing auto parts waste and providing economic benefits to industry and users, it is also intended to raise awareness among potential buyers

    Kintsugui: diseño sostenible
    (Universidad de San Buenaventura-Cali, 2020) Bahamón Iza, María Camila; Franco Medina, Edgar
    At present, Colombia lacks programs for the implementation of textile recycling, whether for the benefit of large, small or medium-sized companies. That is why much of the fast fashion directly affects the circular economy and certainly the environment, based on denim one of the textiles with higher water and dye requirements at the time of production. Many fast fashion brands produce millions of pieces of denim every year, in order to massify the sale and unnecessary manufacture of one of the most harmful materials for the planet, but one that is most used by fashion every day. That is why Kintsugi’s objective is to take advantage of disused jeans to give them a new opportunity, whether they are functional or different. This project considers the deconstruction of the material and the rethinking of silhouettes more to aesthetics and less conventional. In this way we can change the perspective of buyers and consumers of denim. Several proposals were made in order to inform the population sample of the importance of implementing awareness when dressing, and why it is time to change the linear habits that have had the fashion for many decades in Colombia with respect to fast fashion. It is for this reason that textile recycling is taken as the main objective to promote awareness in the country. The reuse and implementation of this activity would have great benefits, not only environmental but also economic, also approaching new and great challenges for designers and their brands when implementing sustainable design and circular economy.
