Abstract

The need to segregate urban solid waste is a fact, something that has been achieved in a certain way thanks to the dissemination and awareness that has been promoted through environmental education, taught in educational institutions at all levels and the transmission of information through social networks. The follow work addresses the problem of the deficiencies present in the environmental management of plastic waste, due to the lack of classification and separation of the same. It is no longer just a matter of separating the urban waste produced, with the aim of reducing, reusing or recycling it, since, even in the best case scenario of correctly separating plastics from all other solid waste, reuse or Recycling is practically not possible if these are mixed together. This research hypothesizes that a large majority of people do not know how to distinguish the different types of plastic with which the products and containers that are used on a daily basis are manufactured. The objective of this research is to propose strategies to solve the problem raised based on the results obtained.
