    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.

    This project aims to evaluate the economic viability for biogas production by implementing a biodigester from the excreta generated by cattle in the Las Eusidias Farm located in the municipality of Silvania Cundinamarca. It will be used as fuel for cooking and electricity generation. In a diagnosis of the farm, a census of cattle was made and the total of excrement generated per day was calculated. Based on this information and through external sources, reference was made to the types of biodigesters available in the market and thus establish which biogas plant would be most appropriate to be installed. The economic viability was determined by calculating financial indicators such as the internal rate of return and the net present value at each of the contributions that were generated. The first results shows that the initial investment recovers slowly and at a rate of return higher than the recommended in the market.. Therefore, in this farm it is not economically feasible to invest in a biodigester.

    CASTAÑEDA LÓPEZ, LEIDY JOHANNA; GUZMÁN HERNÁNDEZ, MANUELA ALEJANDRA; Blanco Portela, Norka
    Sustainable development is one of the main concerns of the human being. More and more countries, companies and individuals are trying to combat climate change by making more responsible use of natural resources in order to reduce as much as possible the erosion of the earth. An analysis of environmental management arouses great interest because of the advantages that can generate in a company. Carrying out an environmental management plan in an organization achieves an efficient management of natural resources, reduction of waste and emissions, savings in costs and an improvement in the corporate image. The objective of the environmental management analysis is to improve the environmental performance of companies. The purification of residual waters does not stop being one more activity between the multiple industrial activities and although it treats of an activity in himself beneficial for the environingingment has certain influence in the surroundings. In order to evaluate the situation regarding the environment of an environmental management analysis, it is necessary to have previously identified those environmental aspects likely to generate impacts on the environment. Based on these criteria, a methodology is proposed for the analysis of the environmental aspects associated with an Environmental Management Plan, which is embodied in a Model of Analysis Units matrix.
