Recycling programmes to minimise plastic through bottles in the Guayaquil area

This is the result of the research project: 3R - training for environmental awareness, which aims to analyse the theoretical underpinnings of the recycling programmes implemented in Guayaquil in order to reduce the amount of plastic in the city. Exploratory research was carried out using a sample of different studies on recycling programmes. The methodology employed consisted of a documentary review, using record cards to collect information. The results highlight the relevance of several projects in promoting more sustainable practices, although many of them fail to fully achieve their goals. Furthermore, it is noted that several authors offer additional perspectives on recycling and environmental conservation. In conclusion, the analysis of the implementation of these recycling programmes serves to raise awareness of the actions undertaken and the need for effective compliance.
