PLAN DE MINIMIZACIÓN DE DESECHOS DE LA EMPRESA SERVINICE S.A.

Abstract

Agricultural production has an annual growth trend of 5%, an increase that is economically feasible but environmentally propagates the massive appearance of insects that become pests for crops. From here, agribusiness companies have had a considerable upturn in the manufacture of fertilizers and/or pesticides that improve agricultural performance; however, the environmental effects of this practice is related not so much to its production, but to the inadequate handling of post-use chemical substances and products. Therefore, the objective of this research is to reduce the volume of hazardous waste generated during the spraying process of the company SERVINICE S.A. For this, it used the methodology established at AM026, based on three sections: 1) identification of waste, 2) quantification of its volume, 3) alternatives for prevention and/or mitigation. As a result, it obtained four hazardous wastes for SERVINICE S.A., all classified as toxic according to the CRTIB. The major volume was "empty containers and containers of toxic material without previous treatment". Finally, the alternatives or management options were considered as actions that ensure the reduction of pollution and can be monitored quarterly by the company. This executed plan will have place after the approval of the Hazardous Waste Generation Registry.
