Manual de procesos para reutilización del desperdicio de madera en la construcción en Bogotá D.C.

Abstract

The development of this research project generated a tool that allows compliance with the regulations of Construction Waste and Demolition -RCD published by the Secretaría Distrital de Medio Ambiente -SDA and decreed under Resolution No. 0472-2017 of February 28 (Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible, 2017) through processes that allow classification and characterization of the wood waste in the constructions, specific for the city Bogotá D.C. Bogotá D.C. is the city with the highest consumption of wood for construction, in Colombia (Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sosntenible) , and wood is a high consumption material in the construction sector, because that it was selected for this research process, since this material is easily accessible and allows closer investigation to achieve the development of the processes manual in accordance with environmental regulations, based on the uses of wood waste as alternative to the final disposition that is currently present. Taking in consideration the mentioned regulations, and in order to reuse 2% of the total waste generated in the construction site, it is necessary to identify the materials and uses that can be given after the end of its useful life. This regulation, among other aspects, gives us some guidelines for the proper disposal of these wastes, however it is important to complement with a processes manual that identifies which uses could be implemented and how to achieve the goals of the regulation integrating a proper management of wood waste generated in the construction works, determining the over costs of the wastes, and achieving to get less waste material without reuses.
