FGC FLOAT GLASS COL – Edificación industrial planta para producir vidrio flotado en Tenjo Cundinamarca

Abstract

This research focuses on the sustainable design of a float glass plant in Tenjo, Cundinamarca, addressing aspects such as resource efficiency, waste and emissions minimization, energy conservation, and corporate social responsibility, all in line with the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Firstly, it emphasizes the importance of using recycled and renewable materials to reduce environmental impact and natural resource consumption. Process optimization through advanced technologies increases efficiency and decreases the use of raw materials and energy. Waste and emissions minimization are achieved with clean technologies, such as high-efficiency energy furnaces, which significantly reduce CO2 emissions. Additionally, comprehensive waste management facilitates the reuse and recycling of by-products, promoting a circular economy. For energy conservation, the integration of renewable energy sources, such as solar panels and wind turbines, is proposed, along with efficient lighting and climate control systems. Corporate social responsibility is essential to ensure a safe and healthy work environment, with fair labor conditions and continuous training programs, improving employee morale and productivity and strengthening community relations. In conclusion, sustainable production is crucial for the design and operation of a float glass plant in Tenjo, benefiting both the environment and the local community, and promoting sustainable economic development.
