Abstract
CHICAIZA-PEDRAZA, Leidy Tatiana and ROBLES-CAMARGO, Juan Carlos. Proposal for a circular economy for the recovery of value from fruit waste in packaging manufacturing. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2021, vol.88, n.217, pp.140-149. Epub Nov 16, 2021. ISSN 0012-7353. https://doi.org/10.15446/dyna.v88n217.91850.
This article presents a circular economy model corresponding to the current state of fruit waste in Colombia and the impact that is being generated at a social, economic and environmental level. This model proposes the manufacturing of bioplastics based on fruit waste in order to minimize the consumption of fossil resources, carbon footprint and production cost. It also contributes to the generation of employment in the different links of the supply chain, as well as recovering the value of fruit residues through packaging manufacturing. The construction of the model was based on the identification of causes associated with the low recovery of value of fruit residues, through the review of secondary sources, which were later validated with the Delphi method.
