Diseño de un sistema de gestión ambiental ISO 14001:2015 para la planta productora de hormigón de la empresa DEPOHORMIGON CIA. LTDA. – Ambato bajo los principios de economía circular

Abstract

Depohormigon additionally identified control measures under the circular economy criteria of the Cicle Economy, and under the principles of the Ellen Macarthur Foundation and finally designed a proposal for an environmental management system based on ISO 14001: 2015 Standard. Among the results obtained, 36 aspect and impact interactions were identified, taking into account the activities and processes of the Depohormigón company, of which 18 resulted in high environmental significance (RAS). Control measures were applied to those interactions under the circular economy criteria proposed by the Cycle Economy and the circular economy principles of Ellen Macartur. The result was that for the activities with the greatest environmental impact of the Depohormigón company, it is possible to apply the principles of circular economy: eliminate pollution and extend the time of products and materials; and as control measures apply the design for the future, prioritize regenerative resources and use waste as resources. Finally, the design of the environmental management system was proposed, which includes the sections of the ISO 14001: 2015 standard: context of the organization, leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evaluation and improvement. Emphasizing that the criteria to be considered based on circular economy have been included in the operational control procedures.
