Linear ModelThe model of production and waste management in Latin America can be defined as linear, where natural resources are extracted and subsequently discarded in landfills, without recovering materials for reuse in production processes.

Ecosystem Model

The Zero Waste program is based on ecosystem model, in view of legal requirements and environmental best practices. The goal is to reduce the consumption of raw materials in production processes and subsequently in generating waste. The model promotes reuse, recycling, recovery and / or composting of waste generated within industry, turning them once again into raw material to be incorporated in new production processes.

waste = resources

Zero Waste – Concepts

Is it possible for us to mimic nature?

Making Zero Waste, the New NormalThe Zero Waste program, works through education to engage people, employees and general stakeholders in order to:

• reduce waste generation;• correctly segregate waste;• collect waste;• recover waste.

Zero Waste – The New Normal

• Behavior change in waste management. • Eliminate all open dumps by 2014 (currently 45% of MSW is disposed of in open dumps). • Waste material should be reduced, reused, recycled, composted or recovered from other

technologies, and only when there is no alternative can they be sent to landfill.

• In the framework of the National Policy for Solid Waste Management issued in 1998, which is supported by the National Constitution, Law 99 of 1993 and Law 142 of 1994 three specific objectives that determine the horizon of activities were established waste management: a) Minimize the amount of waste generated, b) Increase the rational use of solid waste and, c) Improve systems for disposal, treatment and disposal of solid waste.

• Decree 1713/2002 stimulates the activity of composting as a form of recycling. Economic value, economic cycle.• Resolution 1045/2003, Resolution 1477/2004

• Art. 41 National Constitution (Argentina has provincial constitutions) • National Law 25,675 / 02 General Environmental, National Law 25,916 / 04 Household

Solid Waste Management. Strategic Plan: Recovery of organic waste through composting. • There are provincial and municipal laws for the management of solid waste. • National guidelines stimulate waste management in the following categories: prevention,

minimization, reuse, recycling, energy recovery, disposal.

• National Solid Waste Policy CONAMA 2005. • The recovery of MSW is achieved through 4 processes: recycling, composting, incineration

with energy recovery and other recovery operations (vermiculture). These activities are managed by municipalities. Recycling: 23,994 tons/year, Composting: 28,682 tons/year, Incineration with energy recovery: 603 tonnes/year and Other recovery operations (vermiculture): 2,453 tons/year.
