Propuesta de manejo de desechos sólidos de los restaurantes ubicados en la cabecera cantonal de Salinas.

Abstract

Within this project is a study conducted at Salinas, which besides being one of the most visited sun and beach tourist destinations in Ecuador is also one of the places that generates the most solid waste, especially in the restaurants of the cantonal header. In addition to the mass generation of solid waste, several shortcomings have been detected in the techniques used in the handling of such waste, which generates problems of environmental contamination and wear of the destination. To this end, a "Solid waste management proposal for Restaurants located in the Salinas Cantonal Header" has been developed, which includes methods for the correct handling of solid waste in each of its cycles from its origin to its final disposal. Also, the application of recycling techniques within restaurants that contribute to the sustainability of Salinas, since in addition to helping to conserve the environment, they can also generate income for those who are directly involved. On the other hand, within this proposal there is an awareness campaign aimed at owners of food and beverage establishments so that they wish to apply waste separation methods within their restaurants and thus help those who work in the collection process for the most important destination for sun and beach in Ecuador.
