The Zero Waste Project aims at developing an integrated resources management in the production processes; with the aim to maximize raw materials and energy. Then, when is reduced the waste generation, The management includes alternatives treatments to recover, to recycle and to compost waste, increasing the amount of materials and resources to re-use them and incorporate them in recycling systems and processes that act as drivers of economic activity and sustainable development of the regions.

Zero Waste Project
- 2. Linear Model The model of production and waste management in Latin America can be defined as linear, where natural resources are extracted and subsequently discarded in landfills, without recovering materials for reuse in production processes. culture of waste Waste Community: use and disposalProduction and services Natural ecosystems Disposal in landfills Waste Zero Waste – Concepts
- 3. Natural ecosystems Production & Services Community Recovery & composting Ecosystem Model The Zero Waste program is based on ecosystem model, in view of legal requirements and environmental best practices. The goal is to reduce the consumption of raw materials in production processes and subsequently in generating waste. The model promotes reuse, recycling, recovery and / or composting of waste generated within industry, turning them once again into raw material to be incorporated in new production processes. waste = resources Zero Waste – Concepts
- 4. Is it possible for us to mimic nature? Making Zero Waste, the New Normal The Zero Waste program, works through education to engage people, employees and general stakeholders in order to: • reduce waste generation; • correctly segregate waste; • collect waste; • recover waste. Zero Waste – The New Normal
- 5. • Behavior change in waste management. • Eliminate all open dumps by 2014 (currently 45% of MSW is disposed of in open dumps). • Waste material should be reduced, reused, recycled, composted or recovered from other technologies, and only when there is no alternative can they be sent to landfill.

Economic value, economic cycle. • Resolution 1045/2003, Resolution 1477/2004 92% recycling potential 97% of MSW is collected
- 7. • Art. 41 National Constitution (Argentina has provincial constitutions) • National Law 25,675 / 02 General Environmental, National Law 25,916 / 04 Household Solid Waste Management. Strategic Plan: Recovery of organic waste through composting. • There are provincial and municipal laws for the management of solid waste. • National guidelines stimulate waste management in the following categories: prevention, minimization, reuse, recycling, energy recovery, disposal.

Editor's Notes
- The fast increase population in the world, together with disorganized growth of cities and the technological development with a growing capacity for natural resource extraction has increased the pressure on natural ecosystems, contributing to the increased generation of municipal solid waste in amounts beyond the capacity of ecosystems to assimilate or minimize the impact of the same. The generation of waste is always a characteristic of the activity of all living beings. In their metabolic processes they consume resources to obtain nutrients and energy for the maintenance of their biological structures. These same metabolic processes discard materials without use or value for these organisms. However in natural ecosystems residues of a process becomes raw material for another process, enabling the movement of the elements and energy within trophic webs. Humans extract resources in their development of the natural ecosystems, transforming them into goods and services in order to satisfy their biological needs, but also their cultural and social needs (desires). The model of human growth and development never bothered with the generation, treatment and / or disposal of waste or the environmental impacts that they could have on natural ecosystems and public health. This model of production and use of natural resources has developed since the old age, and was increased in the industrial revolution, it is believed that the ability of the planet was infinite and that the biosphere had the capacity to absorb all the waste generated.
- Within natural ecosystemsfrom an overview of the ecological sciences, producers and consumers generate in each step of the trophic network large volumes of waste. At the same time, within the same ecosystem processes recyclers have developed this organic matter, which again integrates ecosystem as nutrients available for the development of producer, recycling elements, nutrients and energy within ecosystems indefinitely, not creating negative impacts to living beings. The Zero Waste program mimics, under controlled conditions, natural processes by integrating human processes to recycle their waste, preventing its accumulation or waste, and eliminating landfill disposal as an alternative. The landfill is only used when there is no known waste recovery opportunity.
- Each person in Brazil produces 1.1 pounds of waste per day.
- In the pedagogy, Piaget defines intelligence as the ability of an individual to adapt to his environment or surroundings. The individual through the assimilation of stimuli and accommodation of their cognitive structure adapts to live in harmony with their surroundings. Using this fetus, can we talk about environmental intelligence, where individuals, communities, industries and organizations, understand the interactions of the environment and they adapt their behavior and conduct to interact in harmony with it, creating a new culture.
- To choose the projects the following premises will be used.
