A research was conducted on
industrial solid waste management by SMEs in the city of Montevideo.
The following activities were
implemented: characterisation, systematisation of information,
bibliographic search for technical material and standards on industrial
solid waste management.
Local actors were interviewed,
for example: specialised technical experts, authorities involved at
different stages of the waste management process in Montevideo, companies
that have successfully implemented waste management schemes and a research
on the current situation of the industrial solid waste recycling market
was also conducted. The scope of work was extended by means of a
questionnaire to be filled out on the subject of waste generation by SMEs;
this was organised by one of the associations involved in the issue:
ANMYPE.
A Guidebook was published for
Waste Generators; it includes technical and operational information on
waste management. In addition, it includes information on current
international legislation signed by our country.
Finally, suggestions to
improve management were also presented.
