Estrategia de economía circular empresa ENVAPAC LTDA

Abstract

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.
