Abstract

This work seeks to diagnose the business perspective of the department of Atlántico presenting general strength and weaknesses of companies to undertake circular economy policies; it seeks to know the actions for the circular economy of companies in each sector, the waste generated, resources used and the management systems or methodologies implemented. The results show that minimize waste by recycling or reusing it, in addition of replan and minimize the water consumption are the main actions to implement circular activities; more than a third of companies have at least one quality, security, save or environment management system that circularized its processes a bit; but they do not achieve an economic, social and environmental positive impact. For this reason, these actions need to become in a holistic structure with systematization of practices, focusing on single innovation stages and involving their stakeholders. Besides, in addition of barriers reported by previous studies, the lack of expertise and complex administrative legal procedures are specific gaps for Atlántico Industry applying circular economy processes that should be considered in the model used to implement it. Finally, this work serves as the basis for a future pilot project where the level of success and acceptance of various circular economy methodologies that will be implemented in previously selected companies is compared. In this way, build a relevant method to achieve the culture and capabilities of the industries of the department of Atlántico in order to achieve economic, social and environmental innovation by applying the concept of circular economy.
关于Atlántico-Colombia循环经济活动的产业视角
这项工作旨在诊断Atlántico部门的商业视角,提出公司实施循环经济政策的一般优势和劣势;它试图了解每个部门的公司在循环经济方面的行动,产生的废物,使用的资源以及实施的管理系统或方法。结果表明,通过回收或再利用来减少废物,除了重新规划和减少水的消耗是实施循环活动的主要行动;超过三分之一的公司至少有一种质量、安全、节约或环境管理体系,其流程稍有循环;但它们并没有产生经济、社会和环境方面的积极影响。出于这个原因,这些行动需要成为一个整体的结构与实践的系统化,专注于单一的创新阶段,并涉及他们的利益相关者。此外,除了以往研究报告的障碍外,专业知识的缺乏和复杂的行政法律程序是Atlántico行业应用循环经济流程的具体差距,应在用于实施循环经济流程的模型中加以考虑。最后,这项工作将作为未来试点项目的基础,在该试点项目中,将比较在先前选定的公司中实施的各种循环经济方法的成功程度和接受程度。通过这种方式,构建一个相关的方法来实现Atlántico部门的产业文化和能力,从而通过应用循环经济的概念实现经济,社会和环境的创新。

期刊介绍: Economia agro-alimentare/Food Economy is a triannual peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Franco Angeli Edizioni on behalf of the Italian Society of Agri-food Economics (SIEA), founded in 1996 by the then President of SIEA Fausto Cantarelli. It offers an international forum for the discussion and analysis of mono and interdisciplinary socio-economic, political, legal and technical issues, related to agricultural and food systems. It welcomes submissions of original papers focusing on agriculture, food, natural resources, safety, nutrition and health, including all processes and infrastructure involved in providing food to populations; as well as the processes, inputs and outputs involved in consumption and disposal of food and food-related items. Analyses also include social, political, economic and environmental contexts and human resource challenges. Submissions should be addressed to an international audience of researchers, practitioners, and policy makers, and they may consider local, national, or global scales.
