CENTRO DE CAPACITACIÓN Y RECICLAJE PARA EL SECTOR FLOR DE BASTIÓN GUAYAQUIL-ECUADOR

Abstract

This degree work aims to solve an existing problem in the city of Guayaquil, covering both social and economic aspects, which takes place from the relationship that occurs between the contamination due to the production of solid waste, lack of recycling at a general level in the city and the scavengers or “chamberos” who are people of low purchasing power that have managed to see an opportunity in the trash, and are dedicated to collect urban solid waste to generate revenue through selling what they collected to different recycling companies. In response to the above problems, a recycling and training center is proposed to help mitigate the effects of pollution in the city, but primarily it seeks to train the “chamberos” in a way that they can recycle in a complete and dignifiying way, so they can be empowered to build their own business to grow economically and thus be included in the formal economic sector.
