    Diagnóstico de cumplimiento de los requisitos de la norma internacional de sistemas de gestión Basura Cero versión 5 de 2023 en la empresa Productos Ramo S.A.S. para sus dos plantas de producción en Mosquera Cundinamarca
    Herrera-Rodríguez, Alfred Leoman; Díaz-Ospina, Laura
    This study aimed to diagnose the level of compliance of Productos Ramo S.A.S. with the requirements established in the Zero Waste Management Systems International Standard version 5:2023, at its two production plants located in Mosquera, Cundinamarca. The research was conducted using a mixed-methods approach, combining document review, direct observation at the plant, and quantitative waste analysis. A structured checklist based on the standard's requirements was applied, walkthroughs were conducted in operational areas to verify the application of procedures, and records of waste generation and utilization for the year 2025 were analyzed. The results show a medium-to-high level of compliance with the Zero Waste Management System, with an overall score of 93 out of 100 possible points and 91% compliance with the evaluated requirements. The company's high performance in recycling and waste utilization is noteworthy, with a utilization rate exceeding 94%. However, gaps were identified in the operation of the integrated solid waste management system, particularly in the processes of separation, storage, and emergency preparedness, as well as opportunities for improvement in the consolidation of strategic indicators and in management review. The diagnostic assessment established a solid technical basis for formulating improvement proposals aimed at strengthening operational standardization, continuous improvement, and the consolidation of the system, with a view to a possible certification process under the International Standard for Management Systems.

    Romero-Hernández, Andrés Santiago; Sepúlveda-Otálvaro, Angie Juliana; Díaz-Ospina, Laura Carolina
    The purpose of this study was to conduct an energy audit of a public passenger transport company located in Medellín, Colombia, to establish a baseline for energy consumption, identify critical processes, and propose improvement actions to strengthen energy efficiency in its operations, in accordance with the ISO 50001:2018 standard. To this end, average monthly energy consumption was analyzed, the processes with the greatest impact were categorized, and indirect CO2e emissions associated with energy use were estimated. The analysis allowed for the proposal of improvement strategies focused on optimizing the energy load of electric buses, modernizing lighting systems, and strengthening energy awareness among staff. Furthermore, the study contributes to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by promoting more efficient energy use and helping to reduce the carbon footprint of the operation. These findings demonstrate that the implementation of energy management systems (EnMS) provides a robust foundation for future research aligned with the ISO 50001 standard.

    Estrategia de economía circular empresa ENVAPAC LTDA
    Rivera-Silva, Cindy Johanna; Córdoba-Mosquera, Marilyn Yesenia; Díaz-Ospina, Laura
    In Colombia, the strengthening of corporate environmental management has been driven by regulatory instruments, which establish measures for the progressive reduction of single-use plastics, and by policies aimed at closing production cycles, such as the National Policy on Sustainable Production and Consumption and the National Circular Economy Strategy. ENVAPAC LTDA is a small company, located in the city of Bogotá, dedicated to the manufacture of plastic containers. It needs to reduce its solid waste within the production process and minimize the consumption of virgin resin as a raw material. This research is oriented under a technical and regulatory implementation model for the reintegration of pre-consumer waste and opting for the use of post-consumer recycled resin, choosing circular economy practices within the Circular Waste Management Plan. The purpose is to strengthen environmental sustainability, close the life cycle of plastic products, and guarantee compliance with Law 2232 of 2022 on single-use plastics. This is in accordance with the review of the requirements established in NTC 6632:2022 to identify the necessary criteria to build a circular economy model to obtain traceability certification, conformity assessment, and verification of recycled plastic content—essential elements to move towards the process of tax exemption for plastics.

    Estrategia de gestión ambiental para la conservación de zonas potenciales de recarga de acuíferos en la vereda Barandillas, Zipaquirá
    Méndez-Bernal, Mayury Yuelimi; Díaz-Ospina, Laura Carolina
    The present study formulated an environmental management strategy for the conservation of potential aquifer recharge zones in the Barandillas village, municipality of Zipaquirá, Cundinamarca. The study was developed using secondary information, thematic cartography, and spatial analysis in Geographic Information Systems. The identification of potential recharge zones was carried out based on the methodology adopted by Resolution 0017 of 2026 and the Methodological Guide for the Identification of Potential Aquifer Recharge Zones, integrating variables such as lithology, land cover, soils, faults, lineament density, drainage density, connectivity, and the Topographic Wetness Index (MinAmbiente et al., 2025). The criteria were normalized on a scale from 0 to 1 and weighted through the combination of the CRITIC and AHP methods. The final index presented values between 0.0638 and 0.7371; therefore, very low, low, medium, and high potential recharge categories were identified, with no presence of the very high category. Subsequently, the anthropogenic activities present in the area were analyzed, and their potential impacts were assessed using the Arboleda matrix (2008). The results made it possible to prioritize impacts associated with impermeabilization, soil compaction, vegetation cover degradation, diffuse pollution, and alteration of infiltration processes. Finally, management, conservation, restoration, and environmental monitoring guidelines were proposed to protect the areas with the highest recharge potential and the greatest anthropogenic pressure.

    Guía de manejo ambiental para la implementación de buenas prácticas en la disposición final de dotaciones en los proyectos de infraestructura vial
    Velasco-Ariza, Diana; Ocampo-Duque, Diego Andrés; Díaz-Ospina, Laura Carolina
    One of the major environmental problems is the improper disposal of textile waste. Once textiles reach the end of their useful life, the vast majority are deposited in landfills, contributing to their saturation. Among the activities that directly contribute to this problem, and which are the subject of this analysis, is the final disposal of uniforms provided to employees of road infrastructure projects. Therefore, this document proposes an environmental guide that promotes alternatives for reusing textile waste generated by these projects and contributes to mitigating the environmental impact of uniform production, reducing water and soil pollution, and alleviating the saturation of landfills in the city of Bogotá.

    Planteamiento de una estrategia integral de sostenibilidad para la gestión de residuos sólidos en zonas rurales: caso del corregimiento Cruces en el municipio de Dabeiba – Antioquia
    Hernández-Pineda, Yeny Paola; Díaz-Ospina, Laura Carolina
    This research describes the problem of the current management of solid waste in the Cruces district of the municipality of Dabeiba – Antioquia, where the local government does not provide waste collection services. As a result, residents have adopted various disposal practices, with open burning being the most prevalent. The overall objective was to design a comprehensive sustainability strategy to strengthen solid waste management, based on a diagnosis of current practices and the environmental, social and economic factors in the rural context. The methodology employed a mixed-methods approach, using techniques such as direct observation, surveys administered to households in the district, and a participatory workshop with students from the local educational institution. The results revealed a lack of knowledge about proper waste management, the presence of environmentally unsound practices, and a high level of community willingness to participate in collective solutions. Based on these findings, a strategy was proposed that focuses on environmental education, the participation of various stakeholders, and the promotion of sustainability and circular economy principles. It is concluded that strengthening solid waste management requires not only technical solutions, but also sustained educational and participatory processes that transform behaviors and promote community actions tailored to the district.
