Guía de manejo ambiental para la implementación de buenas prácticas en la disposición final de dotaciones en los proyectos de infraestructura vial

Abstract

One of the most significant environmental challenges related to pollution is the inadequate disposal of textile waste. Once these materials reach the end of their service life, the majority are sent to sanitary landfills, contributing to the progressive saturation of these facilities. Among the activities that directly exacerbate this issue—and which constitutes the focus of the present analysis—is the final disposal of uniforms issued to personnel working on road infrastructure projects. Accordingly, this document proposes the development of an environmental guideline that promotes feasible alternatives for the reuse and valorization of textile waste generated in such projects. The objective is to mitigate the environmental impacts associated with the production and disposal of uniforms, reduce contamination of water bodies and soils, and help prevent further saturation of Bogotá’s sanitary landfills.
