Quantification of Inorganic Waste from Estero Atascoso: Mitigation Strategies

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study was to quantify the inorganic waste of the Atascoso estuary as a mitigation strategy. Theoretical Framework: This topic presents the main concepts and theories that support the research. Highlighting the diagnosis of the current situation and dynamics of inorganic waste generation, also the quantification of inorganic waste, and for the design of a comprehensive management plan for inorganic waste using mitigation strategies; providing a solid foundation for understanding the context of the research. Method: The methodology adopted for this research includes diagnosing the current situation and generation dynamics of inorganic waste, also to quantify inorganic waste, and methodology to design a comprehensive management plan for inorganic waste using mitigation strategies. Results and Discussion: The results obtained revealed the critical situation of the estuary is due to the increase in the accumulation of garbage and the lack of environmental awareness. Therefore, it is essential that the population and the authorities act immediately to promote sustainable and responsible habits in the community. In the discussion section, these results are contextualized in light of the theoretical framework, highlighting the implications and relationships identified. This section also considers possible discrepancies and limitations of the study. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature through specific applicability, for a given area. The relevance and value of this research is evident in the use of mitigation strategies to promote sustainable and responsible habits in the community.
