Abstract
Introduction. Sauce and conserve industries are a part of the food sector. They elaborate,
transform, prepare, conserve and pack human consumption food, in this case pineapple sauces,
pulps and marmalades, from agricultural raw materials 1-2. The solid organic waste from this
industrial sector’s productive activity must be treated in a proper way, in order to reduce its
negative environmental impact.
Objective. The implementation of an integral solid waste management plan in an agricultural
industry of sauce and conserve production.
Materials and methods. An internal plan for the integral management of solid waste was
proposed, including campaigns of waste reduction in the sources, with flyers with information
of consciousness and training. Besides, colorful bins were installed in order to incentivize the
classification of materials. The possibilities of commercialization of the recyclable materials obtained
were evaluated and, finally, a better model for the disposal of pineapple peel was proposed. This is
an organic remain generated in the cut process and it was usually sent to the landfills.
Results. The plan was implemented in the company, creating a new environmental
consciousness. A better use of the organic waste was achieved by sending them to a worm
culture. Besides, along with the efficient separation of materials, a monthly earning of COL $
176.920 was obtained.
Conclusion. A reduction of negative environmental impacts was achieved. Besides, the
plan brought new economic benefits for the company and the first steps were taken for
executing cleaner production policies and management systems which can be useful for more
certifications in the future.
