Release 002/2016 – The University of Cordoba (Colombia), aware of the current necessity to develop a responsible consumption culture and to use the natural resources in a sustainable way, has joined the increasingly large number of organizations who understand that part of the solution is to achieve the vision of solid waste as wealth generators, in accordance with what the concept of Zero Waste has being promoting since the 80’s.
This purpose implies that the waste has to be recognized as a raw material, exploitable, by reintegrating it into the economic, productive and ecological cycles, achieving for the citizenship and productive sector to decrease the amount of solid waste that they send into the landfills through conscious, voluntary and technical actions.
