Resumen
VARGAS-RESTREPO, Carlos Mario et al. Solid Waste Management, an Environmental Problem in the University. Pensam. gest. [online]. 2021, n.50, pp.117-152. Epub 30-Mar-2022. ISSN 1657-6276. https://doi.org/10.14482/pege.50.628.445.
Results from the University Environmental Responsibility and Solid Waste Management plan in 2019, in a private university in Colombia, is presented as a case of study. The main purpose of this research is to analyze the problems associated to solid waste management, and the implementation of environmental responsibility in the main campus. We used a mixed methodology, based on documentary review techniques, photo-narratives, category matrix, focus group, and surveys to stablish the grade of success of these programs. It is highlighted that, although the university has implemented an environmental management system under the standard ISO 14001: 2015, the way in which this process is carried out by the institution shows shortcomings in its implementation, and the university needs to strengthen it through training processes in solid waste management; maximizing its use and implementing strategies regarding its disposal.
