Abstract

Los Residuos de Aparatos Eléctricos y Electrónicos - RAEEs se han convertido en una nueva fuente de contaminación, al punto que anualmente se están disponiendo en los rellenos sanitarios aproximadamente entre 40 y 50 millones de toneladas en países emergentes. Este tipo de residuos especiales, considerados peligrosos, son un riesgo para el medio ambiente y los seres humanos. Por lo anterior, este artículo presenta el análisis del comportamiento de la generación de residuos peligrosos en el sector industrial, comercial y de servicios en la ciudad de Neiva. Para esto se contó con el apoyo de la autoridad ambiental regional para identificar los generadores de residuos peligrosos de la ciudad y se diseñó una herramienta de recolección de información.El procesamiento de esta información permitió identificar el tipo, la cantidad y el manejo y disposición final de este tipo de residuos en la ciudad. Se encontró que en el año 2013 se generaron 133.396 kg/año de RAEEs, y solo 25% de los generadores consideran a los RAEEs como peligrosos. Este estudio permite sentar las bases para dar un punto de partida a otras investigaciones asociadas con los residuos peligrosos y especiales que permita generar alternativas a mediano plazo relacionadas con la sostenibilidad, la innovación y el emprendimiento a nivel local.

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment - WEEE has become a new source of pollution to the point that approximately 40 to 50 million tons per year are disposed in landfills in developing countries. Those types of hazardous waste are considered of special risk to the environment and humans. Hence, this research analysed the behaviour of generation of hazardous waste in industrial, commercial and service sector in the Neiva city. The regional environmental authority supported this work to identify the hazardous waste generators in the city and a tool Data collection was designed.The processing of this information identified the waste types, quantity, handle and final disposition in the city. It found that, in 2013, WEEE was 133,396 kg/yr and just 25% of the companies whose generated it, consider WEEE like a hazardous waste. This study lay the foundation to another researches related to hazard wastes, allowing to create new mid-term opportunities related to sustainability, innovation and entrepreneurship at local level.
