Barrera-Culma, Andrés Felipe; Hurtado-Quevedo, Diana Vanessa; Restrepo Sánchez, Natalia María
The care of the environment today has become a fundamental part of the community, since it can benefit the planet earth and also each of its inhabitants, achieving a better quality of life. To this end, techniques are known that help mitigate certain factors that commonly impact, among them is waste, which in the future can cause various problems by increasing its capacity in final disposal facilities. The following document presents a study of the economic, social and environmental feasibility of public educational institutions on composting techniques in the Kennedy area. Through this study, a diagnosis of the institutions and the entire educational campus was made, and a cost/benefit analysis of composting techniques to be implemented in public institutions was developed. Secondary sources were used to obtain information on students, academic staff and institutions, from which their organic waste generation was obtained, as well as other variables to verify the costs and benefits of the project. The results led to the conclusion that the use of organic waste in the institutions can be made, having the support of the students, generating a great amount of benefits that improve the quality of the waste and, on the other hand, making them aware that a very important value can be created from the waste.
