Theoretical framework

Recycling
Recycling is a process whose goal is to convertwastein new ones
products or raw materials for later use.
The disuse of potentially useful materials is prevented, it reduces the
the consumption of new raw materials and energy use, it prevents the
air pollution (through theincineration) and of water (through
thelandfills), as well as the reduction of the gas emissions of
greenhouse effectin comparison with the production ofplastics.
Recycling is a key component in waste reduction.
contemporary and it is the third component of the 3Rs ('Reduce, Reuse, and
Recycling.
Recyclable materials are many, and include all paper and cardboard, the
glass, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, some plastics, fabrics and textiles,
woods and electronic components. In other cases, it is not possible to carry to
a recycling due to the technical difficulty or high cost of the process,
a way that typically reuses materials or products to produce others

It is also possible to salvage components from certain
complex products, either due to their intrinsic value or due to their
naturedangerous.

2. Historical Background of Recycling in the World

In the world, there are countries like Spain, Belgium, Germany, the United States.
France, Holland, Switzerland, Italy, Colombia, and Mexico that promote recycling.
According to Del Val Alfonso (1993), the quantities in Spain are analyzed
waste produced by municipality and forecasts are established for the
future, the different types of garbage and urban waste are also analyzed,
industrial, agricultural and sanitary, of dead animals and slaughterhouses, since
they have gigantic recycling plants.

colors, separated into recoverable fraction (paper, glass, cans, and plastics). To
just like in Italy where glass is collected through similar containers
to those existing in Spain, igloo type of 2,500 liters. Similarly to
Switzerland where glass has to be deposited in different containers according to
sean, colorless, green or
topaz; cans and metals are sorted according to the type of metal. Just like
in the United States where it is collected in containers. For example in the
New York City residents from five districts of the city were asked.
that they separate recyclable materials from the rest of their waste, to
to be collected by groups from the Department of Health, whose 28 trucks
specially designed and compartmentalized conduct weekly collections
from these materials. Unlike Germany, which includes the collection of
fabrics, woods, and leathers.
In Germany, the promotion of the use of recycled paper is carried out thanks to
the 'Environmental Standards of Public Procurement', which involve oversight of
the costs and environmental impacts of the materials that are acquired. Similarly
that in France where the collection has been door to door and complemented in
some municipalities with large containers of up to 30 cubic meters of
capacity. In this country, recycling is always promoted from the perspective
of public benefit, that is to say, savings of raw materials, energy, protection
of the environment and pollution avoidance. For its part, Holland has the
better set of actions aimed at promoting both the collection and the
supply of old paper to the industry, since 25% of the waste generated
it's paper. For this reason, its recycling was encouraged, ensuring a supply of
raw materials to the paper industry and regulating the marketing of paper
recovered in prices and imports, among others. Holland estimates that in the
the future will further increase the use as a result of the large
investments made for both the destination of old paper and cardboard as well as for
manufacturing of new papers. Colombia also emphasizes recycling
of paper, for which he designed an ecological box. The design joins two boxes.
small ones, one marked with the word "Recyclable" and the other with the word "Not"
Recyclable.
In Italy, the paper collection system through containers
situated in schools is the most accepted and has the best results. For its
about 40% of the paper and cardboard consumed in Switzerland is generally collected
companies and private associations, in almost all municipalities. It is important
to emphasize that Switzerland is the most disciplined country and that it accepts the most
separative effort of Europe.

3. Recycling in Bolivia
Today in Bolivia we are generating about 5,400 tons of garbage per day,
(...) Bolivia only recycles 4% of the waste that is utilized.
formally, the rest still has a common cycle to which all the waste
we generate like those that are not usable.
He detailed that of the total waste generated in the country, at least 22.5% is
of recyclable materials, 55.5% is organic matter from recyclable waste and
The rest is disposable because it is useless.

The optimal is that 75% should be utilized and 25% should enter
final disposition. For that we need tools for the public sector and
private, we want to energize and boost that, with organic matter

On the other hand, it was reported that the Government allocated an investment of 30 million
dollars, with credits from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the CAF-
Development Bank of Latin America, to execute treatment projects

Project development

1. Progression to carry out the practice

To develop the project, we will follow a series of phases in which

we will name people in charge, assign tasks, and develop the
necessary strategies for the project's success.
Phase 1.- Information and acceptance of the project by the body of
teachers.

Since we will carry out the project in an educational center, the first
The phase will be to explain to the teaching staff what we are going to do and seek their support and
collaboration. In a meeting, we will present the idea, through which a
group of female and male students, guided by one or more teachers or
Teachers will be responsible for the recycling of containers in the center. We will inform.
that, in case of being interested in the project, some will be installed
yellow containers at school so that students can dispose of their
breakfast containers. These students, female students, teachers and professors
the project managers will be responsible for emptying, periodically,

It will be very important to have the support of the entire faculty, as this will allow us to

Although little by little we will ask for your collaboration and involvement in the program.
for recycling, at first we will have to present it to them as something
easy, that will not require extra effort and that will have many benefits
for their students and for the school, in general.
In this phase, we will present a responsible person and a group of students.
who will take care of everything, and we will keep the door open for every member of the
a faculty that wants to collaborate, establishing different tasks (always very
simple in this first phase) so they can help. For example: mark a
day to take care of taking out the containers, controlling a group of
students and their containers, placement of the posters created by the group
responsible...
Fase 2.- Información y aceptación del proyecto por parte del alumnado.

Once we have the support and acceptance from the faculty, we will present
the experience to the group of female and male students who are going to carry it out. This phase
it will be the most important, since if we manage to motivate the whole group of the
importance of this task, it will be them who carry out the most
effort to make the project work.
We can introduce the project as something globalized that we will be able to address.
from the different subjects of the course, carrying out each of its phases
in the subject that may suit us best. Thus, from Language we will redact
the project, from the Natural Sciences part we will talk about recycling and the
waste treatment, from plastic we will create the different posters and
videos to promote the project at school and from mathematics
we will weigh the waste to record what we are capable of
recycle.

Phase 3 - Project Execution.

After raising awareness among both the teaching staff and the students, we will begin with the
recycling process as such. To this end, we will create a schedule of tasks and
people who will ensure that we don't forget anything from the project. The
the corresponding tasks and responsibilities will be as follows:
Take out and put away the containers at the end and beginning of recess.
2 students each day.
Remove the containers and empty them into the containers of the
street: 2 students and a teacher every two days.
 -Control the use of containers (green patrols): 2
students per week.
Develop advertising campaign: The whole class.
Create posters and visual material: The entire class.
-Weigh the generated waste and create a table with weights and
fechas: Toda la clase.
In this way, throughout the course, all the students
those responsible for this initiative will have assigned tasks, and in the class group,
we will carry out the activities specific to the project, as well as create a campaign
advertising, which will include a slogan, posters, and videos, which they themselves
they will choose, write, and record, to decorate the school and upload to its website
and the different class blogs.
During all recesses, there will be two students responsible for taking out the
containers that will be inside the pavilion, and put them in after completion of the
recess. During recess breaks, especially at the beginning (first
In the quarter there will be green patrols, which will be responsible for promoting the use
of the yellow containers and to properly assess those students who
make good use of them. As an incentive, we will create a series of badges,
stickers and magnets, which these green patrols will distribute to those they believe
convenient. Further down, you can see an example of posters and containers that
They can serve as an example when proposing the project at your center.
Phase 4.- Reduction:

If everything has gone as it should, we will have been able to make a record of the great
amount of waste that we generate from the school each day, that we will be able to
show through the tables that we will have made with the dates and weights
of "our trash".
Thus, we will begin a new advertising campaign, in which in addition to
search for the recycling of packaging, we will promote the use of containers that can
to be used over and over again.

We will create a new series of workshops with the different groups, in which
we will create a poster in which each group will propose ideas to reduce the
high number of waste we generate (use the sheets on both sides
faces, use old circulars as "draft sheets", fill bottles and
canteens for breakfast, higher consumption of unwrapped products,
use of multi-use containers to store snacks...)
With this final phase, we will focus not only on the advantages of not generating so many
waste, but also in the benefit it will have for your health, since
we will be promoting a greater consumption of natural products, such as fruit,
snacks, etc. This benefit will also be reflected in a lower cost
economic.
In this way, instead of buying a chocolate shake, we can fill in
a water bottle with the milk and cocoa that we drank in the morning, and it will be
cheaper and healthier. Or instead of having a fruit juice, we can
choose to bring your own fruit, or fill another water bottle with the juice carton
bigger than we will have at home.
We will aim for the students to create this type of examples and initiatives, and the
green patrols will reward both the ideas and those who carry them out
cable.
2. schedule of activities
the schedule of activities will be something very personal.

Phase 1. Information and acceptance of the project by the body of

Teachers: From the first day of the course, we will begin this
phase, so that when the students arrive at the center, the faculty already knows and
support the idea.

Phase 2. Information and acceptance of the project by the students: Position

that the students will be the main driving force of the project, from the first day that
when they arrive in the classroom, they will be informed about the possibility of carrying out this project and
will encourage them to do it.

Phase 3. Student training: Since the idea would be to start as soon as possible
before recycling, the first will start to be formed from the beginning of the course
group of male and female students, before the start of classes, can be
containers placed. These containers must be accompanied by at least

explanatory for the rest of the groups. The explanatory meetings will be held at
cable throughout the entire first trimester.

Phase 4.- Reduction: The timing of the execution of this phase may vary in
function of the success of the previous ones. Thus, if we see that throughout the first
this term the students are motivated by recycling and use
adequately the containers, we will be able to move on to this phase. In the case of
either the containers are not used properly or something else may be missing
leaving as planned, we will extend or modify the periods of the
previous stages.
3. Project Evaluation
For the project's evaluation, we will need to carry out a continuous assessment in
we will see if each of the phases has been fulfilled.

of evaluation.
In the training phase we will assess:

The veracity of the acquired knowledge.

The usefulness and applicability of the material developed in the classes.

The ability to transmit the acquired information to the rest of

groups.

In the next phase, the execution phase, we will continue to assess the work of everyone.
the involved parties, but being the phase with clearer indicators,
we will base the success of this phase on:

The use of recycling containers.

The periodic collection of the containers by
student body and responsible teaching staff.

The operation of the created lists and organigrams.

The positive action of the 'green patrols'.

The last phase will take place in the event that the evaluations of the phases
previous ones have had a positive valuation, with the very fact of
Reaching phase number 5 will already be an indicator of the program's success.
to evaluate this specific phase we will focus on:
The notable reduction in the weight of the waste generated in the
center.
The acceptance by students and families of the types of
proposed containers.

Finally, and beyond the phases, we must conduct a final evaluation that
ensure the continuity of the project in future years and not be left as a
one-year action. The final success of the project will be for it to transition from being a
specific project to a routine more from the center. To do this we can fill in the
end of course a questionnaire like the following.
