Estudio de factibilidad para la creación de una empresa de producción de papel a partir de material reciclable en la ciudad de Tunja.

Abstract

The inadequate disposal of solid waste has become a problem for small, medium and large cities, which is increasing due to population growth, the concentration of population in urban areas, the inefficient development of the industrial and/or business sector, and changes in consumption patterns. The planet is at a point of exhaustion of its natural resources, making it necessary to transform the dominant development paradigm into one that allows for sustainable, inclusive development with a long-term vision. Taking into account the above, the objective of the research was to conduct a feasibility study for the creation of a Paper Production Company from Recyclable Material in the city of Tunja, which would improve the socioeconomic conditions of recyclers and implement the circular economy and provide a second option for paper and cardboard waste generated in the city, seeking to contribute to achieve the sustainable development goal No. 12. In the feasibility study, 110 people were surveyed to know the degree of interest and perception regarding the creation of the company. It was found that the majority of those surveyed would opt for 100% ecological paper, and they also recognize that good practices in the use and consumption of paper help to reduce negative impacts on the environment. With the creation of a paper production company from recyclable material in the city of Tunja, it is viable, since it represents profits, which indicates that it is suitable to carry it out, in addition to its generation of employment and care for the environment, Ambient.
