Centro de acopio, tratamiento y capacitación para el manejo de residuos sólidos y reciclaje plástico

Abstract

The present degree work exposes the variables related to environmental problems due to the inadequate management of urban solid waste. The research was carried out starting from the city of Bogotá until reaching a local scale in which the Las Cruces neighborhood was established as a strategic point for the development of an architectural proposal focused on recycling, to respond to sanitation and pollution problems. in the environment. An urban architectural proposal of an educational industrial type is proposed in this neighborhood, focused on the transformation of PET plastic (Polyethylene Terephthalate) into a new raw material. This material has a great capacity for innovation as it is completely recyclable, can be handled without generating more pollution, is versatile and has multiple uses in different industries. By giving it added value through the relationship of appropriate technology and optimal design, it seeks to contribute to the circular economy. The project has spaces for the training of recyclers by trade, to respond to the problem of informality in the recycling sector, offers flexible areas for education, collective participation, workshops for training in various arts and crafts where the materials used will be the product of recycling to generate greater knowledge and appropriation of the subject.
