- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoPropuesta de implementación de la Norma ISO 14001 en el sistema de gestión de residuos sólidos de la Mancomunidad EMGIRZAPP-EP(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Torres Armijos , Erika Solange; Martínez Vega, Augusto Polibio; 0706221348; Maldonado, LeonardoThis study was implemented in the solid waste management system of the Joint Public Company of Solid Waste of Zaruma, Atahualpa, Piñas y Portovelo (EMGIRZAPP – company name). It aimed to propose implementing an efficient environmental management system for the organization. Initially, documented information was reviewed, followed by monitoring the collection and sweeping, subsequent disposal process, and administering simple surveys to the staff in charge of each process. The inter-municipal association analyzed comprises four cantons with more than 76,000 inhabitants. Proper association management was primarily hindered by poor source separation, inadequate leachate management in the landfill, and significant impacts on the physical environment, mainly on the soil, predominantly degraded due to loss of vegetation cover. Implementing the Global Harmonized System (GHS) will improve these aspects, and the EMGIRZAPP can be promoted as an environmentally, socially, and economically responsible entity.
