Propuesta de estrategias de economía circular para la gestión de residuos en una empresa manufacturera

Abstract

The present study aims to develop a strategy proposal related to waste management and opportunities for improvement within a manufacturing company. In this case, Textiles JHONATEX, a textile company in Ambato, is the object of study. The methodology focuses on theoretical and documentary aspects that are fully compatible with the target company. Through the analysis of real product processes obtained from institutional documents, critical phases in the generation of textile waste and opportunities to improve environmental impact were identified. The findings allowed for the formulation of concrete strategies to optimize waste utilization and the creation of reduction and recycling indicators that can be implemented with accessible tools such as Microsoft Excel. This analysis offers a real opportunity to improve the company's processes and move toward more efficient production without compromising environmental impact and waste generation.
